42 more days!

I've lost track of how many days its been, but Corey comes home 6 weeks from today! Yay!


I was at Lake Anna this weekend and Spek got his first taste of the lake and the boat. I've decided that we need both a lake house and a boat now. Just for Spek. Hey, whatever makes dog happy.

 Me and Spek, on the water.

Captain Spek, keeping watch.

Day 70

Last Saturday marked the halfway point of Corey's deployment. Some aspects of the time have gone quickly, but others have just trudged by. It seems like he left yesterday, but it also seems like he's been gone for so long, how can I possibly have 2 more months to wait?? Planning a wedding and a honeymoon when we're on opposite sides of the globe is hard work. But it will be worth it. Here's a week old picture of Spek. He was being the lazy one for once and refusing to get out of bed in the morning. 

Day 38

I'm trying to study and dog has been driving me nuts all day. I actually went out and bought him new bones so he'd leave me alone. 

And then he got tired (finally) and now he's napping on the couch. How can I stay mad at that face?

Day 30

The first thing Spek does when I let him out of the cage is get me a flip flop. Regardless of if I'm already wearing a pair, he grabs one, runs to show me, and then runs away with it. He'll only drop it if i pick up his leash to signal that we're going out. I think its his way of showing me that he needs to go out. As if I wasn't used to that from the last year of taking him out...

Day 29

While I went climbing today, Boysen took Spek and Hobbes to the Shirlington Dog Park. Boysen is awesome. And I could tell Spek had fun because he came home covered in slimy water, dirt, and dog saliva. I had to give him a shower- on my own!- and it was tricky, but I did it. Here he is drying himself.
