Having been away for 2 weeks, now is the time to get back into the routines that are my life and catch up on all that happened while I was away.
Ray was not too impressed with my leaving apparently, and was (initially) pre-occupied with looking for me… or at least waiting for me to come back.

A Dog's Life ... and mine ... and yours! 
Cute Dog..

Welcome back. It seems that dogs do not comprehend the concept of return only the here and present. I’m sure Ray is delighted at the current present once more.

I think you are correct. Ray lives in the “now”, and perhaps more people should take note and stop fretting about “maybes”! 🙂

At the risk of appearing repetitious…so delighted that you are back! Ray and your other fans missed you immensely. Sweet photos of a forlorn looking friend, bet that tail was wagging upon your return. Thank-you!

Awww! Ray obviously loves you very much (and vice versa). I don’t think I would be a good traveler anymore. I like home and routine. And I have hard time being away from Cino just for a work day. 🙂

I will happily admit that I love my routines, which of course include Ray. Sometimes there are competing priorities however. 🙂

Thank you Kate. While I had a lovely time visiting my son and daughter, I did miss Ray and (of course!) Carol…. and my routines. My routines are important to me, being the only way that I can do all the things that I like doing. 🙂

Absolutely! I look at my calendar and resent any day that doesn’t give me my nice free morning to exercise, drink coffee and read blogs.
