The Busy Izzy

Scott Z and Heather had plans to go camping on the weekend and felt Izzy was not quite ready to be part of the great outdoors expedition.   There would be plenty of opportunities later this summer for her to be one with nature, trekking through the wilderness and making smores.  So this past weekend became the busy izzy weekend .  Friday, early evening, Scott and I picked up Izzy and brought her over for a few relaxing?? hours of play with the boys.  It felt more like the Wild Kingdom...as Bo and Otto chased Izzy all around the family room

                                             
and then Izzy took the high ground, to get a better view of things...

After a couple of hours, we were as exhausted as the dogs, it was time to go back to Izzy's house where I was going to spend the night.  Bo was also coming along, so he put on his backpack and said "Goodbye" to his buddies and off we went.

At her home, Izzy took Bo by the leash and showed him her pad...

                                                              Shared a few drinks...                   

And had a few laughs....

until they were all tuckered out

Everything went smoothly that night, we all had breakfast the next morning, then collected her stuff and headed back to our house.  

This time, Izzy did the chasing

                                                         Izzy stole Otto's nylon bone,

and he patiently watched her chew on it..

She watched over the boys when they went out..

and spent a little one on one time with Bandit

Then snuggled with Otto

and had a little group cat nap

and finally a picture of the whole Motley Crew together

(this was not achieved on the first shot..hehe)

Izzy spent the night in her own room (cage with her personal stuffies), and none of the dogs bothered her, nor did she mind being in her own little heaven.  Each slept well, ate breakfast together and Sunday around noon, Heather and Scott came to pick her up.  It was a busy weekend for Izzy, and for all of us!

Four dogs = 16 paws, all around the house.  Are four dogs a lot of work...YES!!! 

But, when they all get along, there can be lots of smiles, laughs and awws, and fun...really!
