We are adjusting and settling in this past week with new routines as I have started my new job. They have all been so good about the whole thing and adapting well to life out here. Although I must say that working on time change has not been with the best results. I rarely get to sleep beyond 4:30 in the morning this week.
Watching their changes has been fun and a little annoying at times. But mostly fun and keeps me smiling and living in the moment. They have also been my sanity keepers as I have had my share of challenges this past week.
The dogs who had never really experienced grass under their feet before moving here are loving being outdoors. Abby simply loves to lay in it and watch the world. Although she would like to meet the birds running around the campsite. But mostly she is very content to lay there and enjoy the sunshine we have had this week and being outside in the grass. I have seen new confidence in Brody over this time, he is less afraid of new things and likes to explore a bit and walk with me all over.
As we settle into routines a bit more they both have become more playful. And Punkin and Binx encourage play. For the first time since I have gotten the dogs, they are both able to sleep in the bed with me at nights. Abby particularly LOVES the bed. I think it was the second morning I awoke to her snoring next to me and I turned and opened an eye to find her snuggled next to me sharing my pillow. She in turn opened her eyes and smiled at me, so happy to be with me in bed. This made my day and was a good way to start the day. Bedtime for them brings a bit of playtime on the bed for them both and she is all over the place, bouncing and rooting around and being silly. They both enjoy a little play with me, then we all snuggle in and hit the hay. Which then brings the kitties in to join us. Its very snug with all of us in a little double bed! But then again, who needs heat with all that fur?
Punkin's new habit is to play in the water with his paw. Which is a total surprise for me as he hates water. Now hes always getting his foot soaked and lapping the water off of it.
The cats' favorite pasttime and way to spend the evening is to sit at the door when its open and watch the birds and the world go by. I think they feel like this is the best kitty TV ever! Though it can be quite the challenge to take the dogs outside when the kitties don't want to leave their best viewing spot. Creates quite the traffic jam! I love to watch them watching the world, whether from inside like the picture above or their faces from outside. Makes me smile every time! And they are quite content to sit there for as long as I have the outer door open and just watch all the happenings and especially the birds who are brash enough to come right up to the RV. Though the afternoon that a bird walked on the roof the length of the RV caused quite the mayhem inside as they could hear it, but couldn't see it and were frantic to get to it! Hilarious, glad I wasn't up trying to cook at the time, I just stayed out of their way.
Today I have tentative plans to go to the coast and beach for a little bit with the dogs after the movers are done delivering my stuff. I cannot wait to see how they react to the ocean and sand! If we get there, I will take plenty of pictures and share. It will be their very first time experiencing the water or large body of water! Although I believe i need to find a little portable wagon for Abby so she can enjoy more with us as she cannot walk as much or as long as we can.
