For the second day in a row I took my person for a walk in the morning – before that nasty thunder starts showing up.
And I’m finding there are extra benefits to going on walks this time of day.
Not only is it calmer and quieter – with no wind and no booming thunder – but this is the time that some of my friends are taking their people for walks.
.

Like my girlfriend Layla.
I hadn’t seen Layla in a long time and it was great fun romping around with her.
But since it had been so long she seemed to be a little shy at first.
I had to start out with a gentle nose kiss.
But soon Layla warmed up to me again.
And I got some really good loves.
Woo woo!

Thanks Marina. It was great fun getting to play with one of my girlfriends. But she didn’t have any fish so you’re still tops.

Patricia, it was an awesome morning. But I had to put my thunder vest thingie back on. I’m hiding in the hallway now. No fun.

Sorry Bongo. We had a terrible storm here yesterday. Scared Teddy terribly and he usually isn’t afraid of storms. Bunches of trees uprooted and 2 cars crushed and the front of an office building destroyed. All on my block! I needed a thunder vest!

Patricia, it sounds like you need thunder armor. That sounds like one really scary storm.

Awww, we can tell Layla loves you sweet Bongo. Good for you getting to see her again and get all those good loves. Hugs and nose kisses

Chancy and Mumsy, it really was great getting to see and play with Layla. I only get to see my girlfriends by chance – when we both happen to be on the trails at the same time. Hugs and nose kisses back to you.

Nothing better than early morning adventures with special treats thrown in the mix! Super! 😍
Bongo

Sunshine, these early morning adventures are working out way better for me. Then I can come home and hide from the thunder the rest of the day. And dream about my girlfriends.

Kevin, it was great hanging out with Layla. I hope I see her again soon – or maybe I’ll see another one of my girlfriends.

You should go out with Layla, you are a beautiful couple together! You could write some love-pee-mails for her and have a date!
Bongo
July 21, 2013 at 12:42 pm
Kolytyi, I think Layla gets some of my pee-mails when we’re on the trails at different times. That date thing sounds good though. I bet there’s a dog treats place somewhere in town where I could take her.

Thanks Collies for keeping this from Ginger. She really is my bestest girlfriend and I wouldn’t want her to get jealous. Just make sure she doesn’t send any of those missiles my direction.
