Back at home

Yuki survived his first trip to a kennel this December.  Yay!  Steve can attest to how sad I was when we were away, missing Yuki and trying not to email the kennel owner too much to ask how he was doing.  But I’m happy to say now that everything turned out just fine.  The people at the kennel he stayed at were great and we could tell that he had a blast playing with all the other dogs.

The week we were back Yuki was so tired – I’m sure from all the play and relief from being home – he slept all day for a few days.  He’d play with us when we wanted to but he was just as content to curl up on the couch with me and sleep.  It’s actually been his usual spot during the day since we’ve been back – right next to me, either on the couch or on the ottoman, which we shove right up next to the couch.  Then, in the evenings he lays between Steve and I while we watch TV or a movie.

He’s been hanging out with us on the couch for a few months now.  It’s like he woke up one day and decided he wanted to snuggle – and he’s been doing it every day since.  I’m certainly not complaining.  Yuki is certainly a wonderful napping companion during the middle of upstate NY winter!  I’m convinced he can sense when I’m cold. Every time I reposition the blankets on the couch to cover me better, he jumps up and lays next my legs.  What a sweetie!

The other day I was able to snap a few pics while he was adjusting his sleeping position between naps on the ottoman.
