It seems like at least half of our street owns dogs.
One house has a old golden retriever named Boris who wanders up and down the street, greeting the neighbors and searching for tennis balls and belly scratches.
Matt and I first met Boris last fall while we were outside raking our leaves. He came over to say Hi and to try to coax a few scratches from us.
Last week, while I was outside with Remy enjoying some rare spring weather, Boris came over to say Hello again.
Remy panicked a little at first and then decided she wanted to PLAY.
Boris had other things in mind, like sniffing around the yard, marking his territory, and trying to be petted. He didn’t want much to do with a yapping little black thing that was trying to bite his tail and chase him around the yard.
I’m pretty sure he thought she was annoying.
Maybe someday they will be friends, but not today.
We also introduced Remy to the tennis ball. 
Our family of three!
I enjoyed this blog update as I am a huge dog fan! Our golden retriever is exactly how you described boris, always looking for a ball and saying hello to everyone…I can’t get out the door of my house without a ball being dropped at my feet. REMY=So stinking cute. Love the family photo!!
Hi Brooke! Thanks for the blog comment!! Thank you, we love her so much! She’s added so much fun to our lives, that is for sure! She’s eating a sock on my lap as I type this. 🙂 xoxo!
