weekend in review - more leon

(sigh) where does the time go? it was just thursday night that i was attending the OCC fundraiser, and then rushing out to pick up my baby, leon. we had an exciting weekend ahead of us.....we were going to see the canucks vs. washington on friday night! i was a bit nervous before heading to gm place, because i really didn't know how leon would do in a big crowd of screaming fans. but i needn't have worried.....he was very well behaved. in fact, he slept through the entire game (that includes overtime AND the shoot-out!)! what a good boy :-)

on saturday i took him with me to the dentist. i wasn't sure how this was going to work, but i figured it was worth a shot. we tied him to a rolling table, but he was so good and just lay down and went to sleep. he was a bit concerned when the suction tube was used, but i assured him i was fine, and he went back to sleep. after having a filling pop out at the dentist, i was in a bit of pain and discomfort so we stayed home for the afternoon. in the evening we headed over to priscilla's house for a girls night in. leon was the perfect house-guest....he found a little carpet to lie on and went to sleep (after he played with dave and selena, of course!).

sunday was a bit more difficult - i was getting frustrated with leon because he discovered our shoes and decided they made a good chew toy. he also found that chris' bean bag chair made fun sounds, and proceeded to claim that as his new bed :P



for only my 3rd puppy-sitting weekend, i sure extended it....i had leon for 4 nights and 4 full days. we went to work together on friday and monday and as always he was a big hit. now that he's a bit older, he's actually awake for longer periods of time so i'm able to get more work done :-) i had a physio appointment after work today and leon accompanied me there as well. he wasn't quite as well behaved as at the dentist - my shoes were completely covered in doggy drool :P

(yes, this is how he slept at the office today :P)

when i returned him to pads, his playmate fraser was eager to see him again. the two of them romped around in their kennel and had a grand time :-) the girls were a lot calmer than the boys.....gee, go figure!

up next.....skeena's joining me this weekend! come see us at the vancouver public library on saturday - pads is going to have a booth set up there!
