Last weekend we put up ten people as we had quite a few visitors. This weekend, not so many. We just took in one - a miniature schnauzer named Auggie. His family is busy picking up their son at college, so we graciously extended the doggy welcome mat.
As sometimes happens, we invoked the doggy double standard - our dog does not get up on much furniture, but as the trained eye can discern, Auggie knows of no such rule.
He's a well-behaved canine, and little trouble. Funny story about boarding Auggie: They once took him to a kennel for a weekend, came back at the end of the weekend, and took the dog home. They noticed the dog was behaving strangely and quite differently. They went back to the kennel to inquire, and found out they took the wrong dog home!
That should not be an issue this weekend. Our spaniel is considerably different. So that's it for the "Auggie Doggy Blog".
While on the topic of pets, I may not have mentioned that we (and by we, I mean my wife) have a couple parakeets. They are five to six years old now, and my theory is that because there are two of them to talk parakeet chatter to each other, they do not have the faintest interest in picking up any English. Should you ever want to take in these birds, you may find, as we did, that Slinkys make fine roosts.

Auggie is Awesome. I love the way they groom those dogs so that they look like they have eyebrows.
The eyebrows remind me of Andy Rooney from 60 minutes,
The guests always get special treatment.
