best part of my day.

My little guy is growing up! But I am a proud doggie mommy this week (i see that, you just rolled your eyes, didn't you?). Milo started 'school' this week. After losing his best friend Starla (a black lab) next door earlier this year, his play time and interaction with other dogs has been drastically reduced. In turn, his weight has shot up. 

Since he is a 65-pound, long-hair, black dog, taking him on a walk or running with me when it's 100+ degrees between work/night-night is out of the question. Um, I need to point out that Milo goes to bed on his own at about 10p every night. Whether we do or not. He likes himself some sleepy-time. So if it IS cooled down by 10p you better believe he isn't going on a walk.

Moving on. Milo started school, two afternoons a week at Doggy Day Care. He was thrilled we came back to pick him up on his first day (he is a shelter dog, understandable he had some anxiety) but came home beyond worn out and happy both nights after 'school'. With spectacular report cards to boot.

Seeing his exhausted little face after getting home from work last night? Hands down best part of my day, if not my week...

Oh Cooper would love to play with Milo. I think Doggy Day Care is OUTSTANDING for our fur babies who are social, happy, playful creatures!!

I bet he behaves better than some of the students I teach!

That's so awesome! I so feel bad for my little Wyatt having to be inside all day b/c of the heat. But we get up EARLY (way too early) for a little W.A.L.K. (sorry, used to spelling the work out). He gets so excited when I pull that leash out it's hilarious.

Oh my god! I love this! I always think I am the only person who gets excited by these things, but I think if I were you, his report card would be on my fridge!

This is an awesome post. I don't have children but have two cats (well three right now but that's a different story) and they are my life and I have my proud and not so proud cat mommy moments.
