Lunch Date
We hang out with Hu-Dad in his study as he writes in the mornings and does other busyness in the afternoons, but the mid-day break is the most exciting time. Most days, Hu-Dad makes himself a bowl of popcorn and, on pretty days, sits outside to eat and catch up on emails and social media.

Bored With Busyness
We do our best to let Hu-Dad focus on his clickety-clackety at the keyboard, but Roscoe says he’s bored with busyness. He’s using his soulful eyes tactic accompanied with heavy sighs. His leash is right there on the floor beside him, so he’s ready for his afternoon walk.

Lifeguard Tower
Frankie Suave has claimed the top step at the back door as his own personal domain. It may not look very high, but he says it’s the perfect lifeguard tower to watch the younger dogs in the backyard. Not that he plans on rescuing them or stopping their antics, but he sure can watch them.
