Day 8 Nanook Checks Out the Neighborhood

Today was another exciting day.  First thing this morning Nanook decided that he would check out a couple of my toys.  Yesterday, Mom gave him one of the brand new toys I got for Christmas but haven't played with yet.  She thought maybe he'd like something without my slobber all over it.  He didn't take any interest in it though.


This morning he thought it was more interesting and immediately wanted to take it outside.  Here he is lounging on the deck.  I watched him from inside because there's no way I'm going outside in this cold weather!












A bit later he decided that my favorite toy looked fun too and carried it around for a bit.  Does this picture make my butt look big?  Maybe someday Mom can take a decent picture of us together.









The real excitement happened this afternoon.  Mom and I were relaxing on the couch when Mom looked out the window and guess who was walking down the walkway? Nanook!!  We raced to the door and Mom called him but Nanook decided he wanted to go for a walk and continued on his way.  She quickly threw on her boots and jacket and went after him.   Nanook has absolutely no recall what so ever!  Thankfully Nanook has to pee at every house and there's a really, really interesting spot at the entrance to the park at the end of our street.  This allowed Mom to catch up and walked calmly up to Nanook and put his leash on.  When they got home Mom noticed that the side gate was open.  How it got open is a mystery, but it's securely latched now!
