First Christmas Tree with Lady

I realized that I haven't posted a whole lot about Lady on the blog since she came home to us. In all honesty, I feel a little bad for her in a way. With Piri and Bartles, because their needs were so big, I used to be with them all the time and any time Yangkyu and I needed to go out, they would tag along (mostly Piri -- with Bartles, I would just stay home and Yangkyu would go by himself). 

Lady is currently very healthy and she stays home so well by herself, unlike Piri whose separation anxiety came back after we moved to our current home and he would pace all the time. And with Bartles, because his mobility was somewhat compromised he would get into a pickle when left alone.  And with Yangkyu's current work and school schedule which has him out of the house most of the time, any free time we have with each other, we end up going to grab something to eat just the two of us or doing the usual quick Target, Michaels, Homegoods, World Market run (I love doing this just to recharge, especially after guest dogs leave). I remember with Piri, whenever we wanted to go out we would go to dog friendly stores, namely Home Depot (dog friendly and stays open late), but with Lady she sometimes just pees and poops out of nowhere when walking on a leash so I get a little uneasy taking her to stores. 

And during the weekends, Yangkyu only has a couple of hours before he needs to study or get school work done and so we haven't been venturing out and exploring dog friendly areas like we used to. 

But about a week ago, we did take her to get our first tree together. She enjoyed it a whole lot. Lots of great smells, too.

We hope to take her hiking this weekend. We're all itching for a little crisp air (although the weather lately has been so warm) and move our stiff bodies (we haven't been all that great about exercising lately). 

What are you up to? 

We're also doing lots of Christmas decorating, too -- trimming the tree and getting the outdoor lights up. I can't wait. 

Have a wonderful weekend.
