This is late-morning sleepy Nico face. After his morning walk/run, breakfast, and a bit of craziness, he typically settles in for a long late-morning nap. It's hard walking by him without giving him snuggles.
Shelly, Nico, and I went on what will likely be the last boat ride of the year this evening. Nico was like a pinball bouncing back and forth all over the boat almost the entire time. Shelly tried to get him to lay down under a blanket with her but he kept wanting to chew on her and the blanket. We failed at Operation Exhuast Nico today, Shelly and I needed a rest day. 🙂
Another successful day of Operation Exhaust Nico. We went on a 7-mile hike today. It rained on-and-off most of the time and then poured on us the last half hour. We also made progress toward him being more of an all-weather dog. He didn't mind the rain at all. He is currently passed out on the couch and we anticipate he will remain that way the rest of the day.
