Rob's parents are away at a conference for 5 days so their dog, Raskal, has come to stay with us. We've taken care of Raskal before, but this is the first time we've done it with Mia. Raskal and Mia have gotten to know each other during Mia's many visits to Nina and Taid's house, but they haven't become fast friends yet. Both are pretty unsure of the other.
For example, this morning, Mia got up a little before 7am. Mia and I fed the fish and I set Mia down to play, while I was intending to get the paper. Raskal shows up, somehow knowing my intentions, to do his doggly duties and be the one to bring the paper in. (I think he can't stand the thought of missing a treat opportunity.) Immediately upon receiving his treat, he heads back upstairs to his bed on the floor of our bedroom and joins Rob in sleeping. He doesn't seem to care at all that I've already put his breakfast out on the floor.
We have to commend Raskal on how well behaved he is. Mia's toys are easily accessible and he is very good about only playing with his toys. He can easily jump our fence, but seems to be restraining himself very well. We have warned our neighbors in case he slips out.
We'll see how the week plays out. I think the warmer weather (highs in the 50's) will help to ensure he gets all of his walks in and remains a happy puppy. Wish us luck!

I've had a few questions and yes, Mia is wearing pink camo pjs.
