Three Down One To Go

Yesterday we went to another Cubs Spring Training game with our friends and tailgated before the game. This would be the third Saturday in a row of an all day event, but there is only one Saturday left until next year. Our friends wanted to begin tailgating at 9:30am, so that meant for an early Saturday morning. I am not a morning person, so that was a big deal for me. We had to get up and get going by quarter to nine to pick up Mike and arrive on time. As Andy was packing the car the dogs thought they were going with us. They got all excited and started crying. This made it really hard to leave them behind, especially for a very lonely eight hour day. Remember, they are not used to being alone. This made for a sad exit. After the game we headed to PetSmart for yet another apology trip for the dogs. Actually, the trip wasn’t just for an apology for being gone all day because we were out of chews for them and we can’t have that. Our dogs always need something to chew on. While I was there I decided to pick them up a new toy as well for feeling the guilt of leaving them alone all day. It was a $6 toy that lasted about six minutes, so I paid $1 for each minute the toy lasted…awesome! This is why I have a hard time buying them any doggy toys because their main goal is to destroy them. I gave the girls their toy and left them in the backyard for maybe 10 minutes when I walked in the kitchen and saw this.

Yup, that is Izzy and Madison in the middle of the stuffing they managed to tear out of the stuffed animal. This is a perfect shot as it captured exactly what we always find shortly after giving them a stuffed toy.

Here is a picture of Andy and I in the lawn during the game. One more Saturday to go!
