I’m pretty sure that my little Kiki girl wants to spend the rest of her summer days chilling in the grass and enjoying the hot sun. Every afternoon we head outside in our yard together to check how our vegetable garden is doing, she loves to sniff the baby watermelons, rosemary and the tomatoes more than the other veggies. I once caught her opening her mouth – preparing to devour a ripe strawberry that was still on the vine, but I called out her name and she totally played it off like she was just checking it out and gave it a little lick – she’s smart like that!
We found a hornworm eating our tomato plants last week and she sat there wide eyed at my feet, I think she wanted a go at the worm! She’d probably just lick him and walk away, she’s pretty mellow like that. After checking the veggies, we sit in the grass and she crawls up in my lap with the biggest smile on her face and is so completely content and happy in those moments we share together. Sometimes we lay there together and watch the clouds pass by. When it’s time to head back indoors, she never wants to leave. I always wish that we could spend our entire day out there together.
I make a conscious effort every single day to spend special time with each of my doggies doing something with them that they love, and the time that we spend together in our yard is one of Kiki’s most favorite things. It’s just as special for me and I try to soak up each and every of these moments with her as they pass. I love her so very much.
