Bed and Biscuit

Meet Cobe, our house guest.

Breed: Irish Setter

Age: 1.5 (give or take) years

Weight: 55 lbs.

Favorite pastime: tugging, fetching, drinking, running, walking, wrestling, tugging, playing, sometimes eating, chasing, pacing, barking... 

We're currently watching Cobe for Craig's parents, which means Casa Lindeman has become Camp Lindeman for the four-legged variety. Not only did Cobe come with his own crate and toys, but he brought a whole new energy to the house that I haven't seen since Zoe was very young (anyone with a lab knows what I'm talking about). 

Every single toy in the downstairs toy box has been brought upstairs. And the toy box upstairs is overturned about once an hour - just in case a plush toy with a really good squeaker got buried. And not only are all the soft toys and the nylabones getting put to good use, Luka is getting more exercise than he has in his 2 1/2 years.

I'm not sure what Craig did to get the still shot of Cobe above, but this is the typical scene in the house and the yard (sometimes Cobe is in the lead).  

As one who knows Zoe might suspect, the poor girl really isn't excited about the additional male in the house. It was bad enough when we brought Luka home from the Humane Society (which somehow gave her pancreatitis), but two boys seems to be two too many. She's been laying low and giving us the big brown sad eyes that we know means we're going to owe her a trip to the lake for a long swim when all this is over. 

We hope everyone else had a quiet and relaxing weekend.
