on our way home today from the amazing CONNECT Retreat in Roma, GA and while I’m excited to be home, I feel a little guilty at the same time. We dropped Bokeh boy off with his grandparents, AGAIN last friday. We shot a wedding in DC and then flew out the next day for the retreat. We get home tonight and shoot a wedding tomorrow and we won’t see Bokeh boy until SATURDAY night!!! Ugh!! We’re such bad puppy parents!!! There are times when I think he forgets who his real parents are…obviously that would be us. :) He spends a lot of time with his grandparents and we’re SO thankful that they are just 50 minutes up the road!

My parents have ten acres and a dog of their own and so that’s where Bokeh gets his energy out. Michael’s parents are retired and so they take Bokeh EVERYWHERE. The dentist, the store, church… you name it, they have taken him there. Michael’s parent’s buy him toys…which he LOVES.  My Momma bathes him and trims his nails and cuts his crazy hair! We’re so spoiled, I know. Bokeh has a good time at his grandparent’s houses. He has SUCH a good time that I really doubt he ever misses us! I guess I should be thankful that we’re not sending him to a kennel every weekend. So maybe we’re not BAD puppy parents… we just feel that way when we say goodbye to him over and over again. The good news is that we aren’t leaving for multiple days again until mid-summer! We’ll be home and just traveling on Saturdays and a few Sundays! Yay!! More time with Bokeh boy! :) Have a great Thursday everyone!!!

 

Ps. This shot is of Michael and Bokeh hanging out on our future bedroom floor in the new house! It’s SO CLOSE to being  done! A few more things on the punch list and then we’re closing!!! ah!!! I’ll be showing another little glimpse of our house tomorrow on the blog… just a LITTLE one! So stay tuned! :)

 

Thanks for reading!
