Life of Riley
Sharing Umwelts
When we got Kenzie, it was my deepest wish that she and Riley would form a tight bond, so they could share life with another in the same umwelt. Like me saying to Andrew in wonder, “Can you believe how huge the moon is tonight?” And Andrew saying, “Yeah, pretty spectacular.”
I imagine Riley and Kenzie getting to have those shared kinds of moments. And I expect they will because they’ve bonded more closely than I’d even hoped for. … Read More
A Tired Pup is a Good Pup
Riley and Kenzie love to play. They play all day long. This is one of the great benefits of having two dogs who get along. They are best buds, built-in playmates, partners in mischief and sleeping snuggle bunnies. They do everything together.
This allows me to get my work done without feeling guilty that I have a bored dog just waiting for me to make its life interesting.
That’s not to say that we don’t get in our walks or … Read More

Since Kenzie has been here, they pile in together. Thinking they looked a little cramped, I brought down the big bed that was anonymously delivered for them to use.
Apparently, it doesn’t matter the size of the bed.
Wherever one is, you can find the other smushed right up against them.

Because Everybody Needs More Chaos in Their Life
Meet Kenzie, our new second puppy. Riley’s true love.
I always knew there’d be a 2nd puppy. If you’re a regular here, you would have bet the farm on it. I’ve written many posts about the right number of dogs and the best gender combination. So it was always just a question of when.
It’s a tale that’s a little bit like the Goldilocks story.
Since I knew I was looking for a female (Read the best gender combinations), and … Read More
Note to Self – Don’t Practice Retrieve On a Hill
Riley has a pretty solid retrieve now. It’s his favorite thing to do. Because we were standing on a hill, every time he gave me the ball, it started rolling away. So he actually got it to me 3 times!
