It's Good to be Home!

I mentioned in my previous post about it being an exhausting week. After a good night sleep, and having nothing scheduled to do today, it has felt really good to be at home.  I actually felt energized so I decided to tackle a couple of cleaning and organizing projects.  It's amazing how much stuff one can accumulate.  How does that happen??

I contacted the rescue today about Lucas. His recovery from this last surgery has been pretty uneventful.  He is feeling really well and his energy level is up!  When he came to us, he only ate to live, now he shows his true Golden personality, and lives to eat!  But I have decided that a new 'forever home' should be found for him.  While we adore Lucas, he is way to obsessed with CC, our cat.  I have no worries about his hurting her, however I don't think that Lucas's constant chasing and bothering CC is fair to her.  He's a really nice boy and will make a wonderful addition to someone's home -- That doesn't have cats!

Our sunny afternoon has ended with our taking a walk and playing ball with Todd.  Days like this are really fun for me ....
~Perfect Air Time!~
 I think they're fun for Todd too!
 Enjoy your evening!!
~Our Boy Sammy~

  8. I am so glad you got some "down" time. I pray Lucas find his forever home very, very soon. I shall miss him though.

    What can I say about Todd that I haven't already said? Love that little guy!

  10. Todd and Sammy look really happy! You have perfect weather too!

    Oh, Lucas, what is your fascination with cats?

    You are right, not fair to CC.

  13. Love that picture of Lucas and watching CC. Too cute. Todd is such a energizer. reminds me of the energizer bunny. So nice to be out with the dogs and just relax.
    Hope the rescue finds a good home for Lucas like you have given him.

  14. That Todd just makes me smile every time~! What a ball of energy.
    Here's hoping the exact right person will show up for Lucas. We had to leave our foster dachshund at a wonderful rescue when we moved..it was best for him and he is still there and living a great life (although I still wish he could find a forever home with someone just for him to play ball and go on walks...he is a little bit of a cranky old man, BUT he walks like a dream and plays catch until he drops.)
    thank you keeping us up on Lucas and how he is progressing and here's hoping you have a peaceful week..

  15. I wish I had room for another golden...Lucas could come live with sharky and they could hate cats together. Lol. I am so glad that he is feeling good now. Todd looks like he was having a blast outside.

  19. beautiful pictures.
    i think if lucas ever did try to get nearer cc... he would fair less well than cc! cats have a way of having the upper hand.
    but at least he will go to a new home all well and safe now. you saved his life no doubt. i don't see how he could have lasted much longer with such infection in his system and no real way to eat.
    have a great weekend!

  20. That Todd is like a little circus dog! His "air time" to funny! He sure has a lot of energy- doesn't he?
    We understand 100 percent how you feel about Lucas- and we stand right with you- as you focus on finding a home that is just perfect for him.
    We are so glad you got a day off today- to just enjoy being home and watching the dogs play in the sunshine.
    love

  22. So happy for Todd that he found his red ball. Mama had a Dane many years ago who had a little rubber fire hydrant [this was years before Kong came along] that he carried everywhere and liked to chew to make it squeak. None of the other Danes ever touched his little red fire hydrant. He had it for 6 years, until it got so brittle it fell apart.

    Sure hope sweet Lucas finds a great, cat-free home. And at least he's got a loving refuge with you guys while he waits.

  34. Happy to hear about Lucas and totally understand your thoughts on finding him a new forever home. Poor CC. You are so right about the accumulation of stuff. Amazing, isn't it? By the looks of your photos, appears you're having some very nice weather! We have been blessed with nice weather as well, although today was the last of it for awhile. Bummer. :) Have a great weekend!
