The Comfort of Home

Here we are…most of us anyway, working at home and hanging out with our dogs. I for one am a longtime homebody, I love being home and have always tried to make our home a haven. That means I’m always working to make our space cozy and inviting…both for us and our dogs. A place where we want to hang out which has made staying in place a very okay thing for us.

Homebody - a person who prefers pleasures and activities that center

around the home; stay-at-home.

As I write this blog, Elsa is snuggled up beside me on the couch and Riggs is at my feet fast asleep. They are tired from a big Chuck it run with their Dad, and both are twitching away. The rest of the day will be spent here at home. I have made sure that they are super comfortable wherever we are in and out of the house. We have a super comfy bed set up in the kitchen for Miss Elsa and Riggs for when I’m cooking up a storm. They both enjoy the couch in the living room and family room and pretty much spend bedtime in our bed. Although Riggs still heads under the bed sometimes

This stay in place time has actually been good for Elsa as she is still recovering from her Spinal Stroke and needs a great deal of rest. As for Riggs we are working on lots of trick training and obedience behaviors. They both need mental stimulus but Riggs definitely needs much more than Elsa. So while Elsa naps, Riggs and I head outside for some new work and it is tough to stay above the curve with him. He’s a smarty pants, leaving me with the task of coming up with stuff to teach him.

So as we spend the bulk of our time here at home it has been very quiet. So quiet that there will no doubt be fallout behavior issues to deal with. Elsa will be fine but Riggs is in need of getting out and about in the world; but like all of you that will have to wait until this passes. It will pass, of that I’m sure and all we can do right now is our best and that is what we are doing here in Casa Regalbuto.
