The Italian Greyhound
Yesterday my sister Carol and niece Beka joined us for a adventure on Orcas Island. It was a fine day and of course, Enzo was very popular everywhere we went. He was patient with all the curious kids and even behaved well on the ferry. His favorite times were when were able to walk some of the trails. Here he is checking things out near Hidden Falls.
Oh boy! Enzo is moving a little slower than normal this morning. Saturday we took a long walk downtown and he was so worn out I had to carry him the last two blocks home. Yesterday he went to the iggy meet up in Stanwood and had a great time. His foster mom Sheila was there with Rocco and Musso, so he worked extra hard showing off his tricks. Here is a picture of him playing with his new iggy friend Picasso. Picasso is one tough little dude.
Enzo has pretty much kept the squirrels under control this summer and he is looking for some new grand adventure to sink his teeth into. This morning he went crazy when a lady stopped to pick a piece of green fruit off of the tree that hangs over our sidewalk. Don’t mess with Enzo’s food people!
Yesterday Enzo received an email from his buddies Rocco and Musso. They were wondering if he was ok and where his pictures were. He is still here and we have been enjoying a busy summer. With the nice days we have been taking lots of walks, checking out new scenery and meeting new animal friends. Enzo is not very good at reminding me to post pictures and I have been preoccupied with other distractions. We may be off schedule, but will try to do a better job with the updates.
Karma got back from her trip last night and Enzo was elated! This morning he was lapping up all the attention until she abruptly left for work. Now he is down in the dumps, sitting below my chair and won’t even look at me. That is one depressed dog.
Enzo was pooped last night from all his work and has decided to take things a little easier today. He is starting to get depressed that Karma is still not home. Time to get him out for another walk to keep him distracted.
Karma left very early this morning on a work trip and rather than spend the whole day pouting and crying, Enzo has thrown himself into his work. He has been outside non-stop today keeping the squirrels out of the yard and watching for people getting to close to the yard. I had to sneak into the trees to get close enough for a picture this morning.
Enzo is on high alert for the fireworks this year and wants to make sure he does not miss any of the action. We love watching the big show together, but the noise gets to him after a while and is soon ready to hide under the covers and get some sleep.
At this time of the day, Enzo is normally curled up in a blanket and trying to get some sleep. With our current NW heat wave of 80 degree weather, he is happy to just stretch out on his rug. Now that the world is warm again all he needs is softness.
Enzo’s stomach clock if off this morning and he is sure that it has been lunch time for the last hour and a half. He is driving me crazy trying to let me know that it is my clock which is not in sync, but I was able to lure him out into the yard with a treat so I could take this picture. He sure looks good with the color purple.
