Brendan’s trip took a little longer than expected which gave Nico and I another full day together. I often spend nice weekends working in the yard and gardening and today Nico got right in the action. I managed to prune some shrubs and clean up the brush while Nico took care of trimming my flowers, digging a new garden plot in the yard, and shredding every twig he could find so I wouldn’t have to pick them up. It was quite a productive day! -Shelly
Brendan is out of town and I have been left responsible for both Nico and the daily photo. This is the first time one of us has left Nico for more than a couple hours since he’s joined us and it is clear he is struggling with the adjustment. While there was no doubt Nico missed Brendan during their usual morning walk together, he settled in during the afternoon and found comfort in his toys and other “normal” routines. -Shelly
I’ve been packing all morning for a trip to our family camp to do work with my uncle for two days. Nico and Shelly are staying home. Nico has been keeping an eye on all of my movements, including supervising me pulling equipment out of the shed. Soon enough he’ll learn that all of this typically means he is about to go on a big adventure.
