All Sorts of Changes

Fall is here (well, Fall is pretty much here and gone; the red leaves are all gone, and now just the oak leaves and the aspens have yet to fall, which means Mom isn't done raking yet!  Although Mom is hoping that we get enough snow before she has to rake up the leaves!).  Winter is on its way - we hope.  Last year was a pretty sorry excuse for a winter, and while it made Mom's commute easier, it made for terrible snow zoomies.

Anyhoo, the weather is definitely changing, so Mom took some time to get some photos of us in the Fall grasses.

 

The biggest change, however, is that Jessi, the turkey hotdog lady, is moving back to Dela-where (prompting Mom to break out all sorts of Delaware-related jokes that she's held on to for decades...).  We have a going away doggie class with Jessi, in which many treats were dispensed, and we pretended to behave one final time.

Abby is miffed that I'm getting all the attention!

No one will notice if we "borrow" this big bag of candy, will they?!?

Ever notice how EVERYONE has to use the death grip on Abby?

As a going-away present, Mom put together a photo book for Jessi with highlights from all the years of us being dedicated students.

Abby's first puppy class.  She was a suck-up even then!

We crate-trained Mom!  This was a big day for us!

Yuh, the bunny ears were not such a big day...

Abby continued to be a suck-up even as she got bigger!

At least Jessi knew what books would catch Abby's interest.

When I had my surgicals last year, Abby and Jessi went bobsledding!

 Doggie class wasn't just about Abby; we did duets quite often together.

 

 

And I had my own moments of Being Very Brave!

Check out my balance!

And my ladder-climbing skills!

Abby and I both enjoyed a lot of dress-up with Jessi!

Jessi, thank you for all the fun over the years!  We are really going to miss you!  We hope you come back and visit.  (And bring snacks!)
