The Sleepover

The backpack was packed, instructions were given to behave and don't be afraid, then good byes were said.  This sounds like any child going on their first sleepover, but this was just a little different.  This was Bogart going on a sleepover at Heather and Scott's apartment.  Heather and Scott wanted a puppy this year but they just moved into their apartment and as it turned out, their summer was loaded with activities.  A puppy would most likely have to wait until next summer but in the meantime, to see what it would be like to have a dog, they asked if Bo could come spend some time with them.  So, Saturday later in the afternoon, they came and picked up Bo.  His packback contained his bowl, leash, harness, a flip chip, bag of small bones, and food for the next day.  Off they went.
Their time together started with a relatively long walk to Blockbuster, which really tired out Bo.  When they got back to their place Bo needed to pant, really PANT, to cool off.  This was good exercise for him and he settled nicely into their routine.  The dog that lives downstairs from them barked whenever he heard Bo go in or out but Bogart behaved perfectly without any barking.  Bo probably took up a little too much space while sleeping on the bed during the night, but overall, he was very polite.  He woke up, a little too early for Heather so Scott fed him breakfast, took him out and then brought him back home.  A successful adventure.  Bo hopes he will be asked to sleep over again sometime.
