a “dog” nap

briscoe-in-blanket

Lately, I’ve been taking a lot of naps. I love napping. Curling up on the couch with a book or magazine, cozy under a warm blanket, while the air conditioner blows a cool breeze, is my idea of total relaxation. Eventually my eyes will start to get heavy, and I’ll lose my place in what I’m reading as I drift off into blissful sleep.

While it’s hard for nine-to-fivers to take a cat, erm, dog nap during the days, weekend naps can be just as restorative. Do you take advantage of napping in your spare time?

a dog pillow

I love it when Briscoe rests his little head on makeshift pillows like this fabric-covered ball. He was sleeping on it before I woke him up by taking his photo. When he uses a pillow he just seems so human.

support the omaha dog park

Although we’ve only been there a few times, one of Briscoe’s favorite places in Omaha is Hefflinger Dog Park. As his middle name, Hopper, suggests, Briscoe loves to bounce around like a quick little bunny. Since we don’t have a fenced-in backyard (yet), the only place where he is free to run his little heart out is the dog park. He adores playing with the other small dogs and drinking from their water bowls. 

To support this fantastic outlet for Briscoe’s energy, we’ll be attending Spring Bark in the Park 2009 tomorrow with Jamie and Miss Lola. This will be a great test of his obedience–how well will he be able to handle himself around so many leashed dogs? My guess? His ADD will be out in full force. 

And speaking of Lola, her birthday is coming up, so we’re having a wee celebration in her honor Saturday night. Her creative momma yesterday baked treats for the dogs shaped like bones and tonight is making bone-shaped cookies for us non-canines. Mmm… cookies!

Do you take your pups to a dog park? Are they social or do they prefer to play alone?

a message from the dog

Shh, don’t tell Daddy… but the couch is SO much more comfortable than the floor.

PS: Does this angle make me look fat?
