Chewbacca & a Picnic

A couple weekends ago we dog-sat for a guy at Tim's work. You can see a picture of her smiling face (and snaggle tooth) above. Her name is Chewbacca. Her family calls her Chewie for short and we affectionately nick named her Chew Toy. She's 10 years old and rather diminutive in stature, so she didn't really appreciate all of Olive's attention, but she did well at keeping Olive back without getting too snappy. Walking with two dogs on leash was interesting at times, especially when Olive tried to play with Chewie on the stairs, but we all survived.

On Sabbath our church held the service, and a picnic afterward, at a nearby park so we brought the dogs along with us. There were quite a few other dogs there, which Olive found nearly unbearable since she was confined to her leash.


















Our friends also brought their dog, Jack. He had a chain that screws into the ground and we tried attaching Olive's leash to it for a little while but had to stop when she nearly unearthed it trying to get at another dog who was running around off-leash.
