We drove back to the apartment, I dropped Jake off, and picked up Tara. I know she needs her exercise too. So she and Gracie and I walked for 2-miles on campus. After we got home, I packed up Gracie's stuff, and she and Jake and I drove to meet Charlene. About 15 miles into the drive, Gracie curled up and went to sleep on the front passenger seat! I couldn't believe it, finally she's tired! Jake did whine for a couple minutes while in the car, but both dogs were pretty good.
Gracie was friendly meeting Charlene and her son Tim, and jumped into their SUV with no problem. It's been a somewhat challenging three days, but I've learned so much about managing three dogs and two cats together in an one-bedroom apartment. I love Gracie's temperament! I'll miss her. Now I'm going home to take a nap. I guess Jake needed a nap after Gracie left also.
I took Jake on a 2-mile walk on campus today. After we got back home, Tara was sleeping on my bed with me, and before I could stop Jake, he got on my bed too, not just sleeping on the opposite side as Tara, but actually got right next to her, and laid his head and front paws on her! I think my heart leaped to my throat at that moment, but Tara didn�t even wake up. So I just let them stay that way, took the picture, and told Jake to get off my bed.
Jake�s parents were picking him up later today, but I thought I would exercise him nevertheless, in case his parents are not back on their regular exercise routine yet, since they just got back from their trip. So this morning I took Tara and Jake to the dog park. I knew there wouldn�t be other dogs there at the park, so I brought Tara along. It was drizzling a little bit, so I put Tara�s fleece pajamas on her.
