Dog sitters

Jason's bother, Travis, and his wife, Ana, dog-sat Tsuga while we were in Louisiana last week. They did such a super job by taking him on many field trips to the park and interacting with him to do tricks.

They even let him drink some beer...

and then pass out in the back yard...

We think that Tsuga had such a good time that he may even love them more than us because when we told him to "load up" to go home, he walked to their back yard wooded area and laid down as if to say, 'nah, I am staying here'. Ever since Alder arived, Tsuga has certainly gotten less attention and he appears to be a bit saddened by it. So, a week with his aunt and uncle were just what he needed. Thanks T & A for taking such good care of him!!

It is really interesting how Tsuga seems to really love Alder though, despite the fact that he has stolen the spotlight from Tsuga. Alder, on the other hand, has some jealousy towards Tsuga as you can see from this comment he made earlier today:
