You know how grandmothers are

Adam came home for a few days and brought our grandpuppy with him.  Her name's Maia.  Isn't she adorable?

 I told Adam I'd puppy sit while he went to visit a friend.   I think I got an idea what it might be like to babysit for a human grandchild.  I worried if she got out of my sight.  I didn't want anything to happen to her on my watch.  I also got a glimpse of what Adam might be like as a dad.  You know parents, "she's so smart", "don't let her eat that (donkey poop), she hasn't had all her shots yet".  It's kind of funny.

 

James and I decided to take Maia and Lex to the creek while we were on duty.  We had to carry her a good bit of the way or we would have never made it down there in a day.  After a little exploring she fell asleep on the rocks.  Twice Lex got up to check on her.

He's very patient with her.

 

It's probably good for me to have a reminder every now and then what it's like to own a puppy.  It makes me really appreciate how easy this old boy is.

I have a feeling if I ever get the chance to be a grandmother none of you will want to read my blog anymore.  This was only a small portion of the pictures I took today.
