Riley

I love our dogs.  Really I do.  One of them, Riley, is quite a character.  He has some weird habits.  First, the dogs are not allowed on our furniture.  So whenever we leave, Riley follows us to the door, watches us leave, and then gets on the couch.  I know this because he will look out the window for our car, and the couch is under the window.  Plus, we've come home and there have been drool marks on the pillows.  Don't worry, we wash the slipcover regularly.  We can't ever catch him in the act in the house because he hears the garage door and then goes into his room and lays down like he's been there the whole time.  Couch is still warm though.

Another habit of his is bringing us something when we come home if he really missed us.  It can be anything from his favorite toy to a twist tie he found on the ground.  Yesterday when Jay came home, Riley brought him this.

There were two of them from a birthday cake we bought for a friend.  Now these were on our counter, and Riley likes to help himself to things he wants up there.  You can hear his feet clicking as he jumps to see what's up there.  Anyway, Jay took this away from him.  I didn't think anything of it until I found this today.

Looks like someone is going decorate our backyard with some colorful balloons.

Yep, that's my boy.
