When Kenzie wants something, she finds a way to get it. We don't know exactly what she was searching for last night, but she scoured our apartment, flashlight in mouth, determined to find whatever it was.
She would be pretty good help at a crime scene. That may just be the victim, face-up, on the bottom right.
Another bath!
And a tired little puppy once again:
I'd heard from some fellow dog walkers recently about a nearby dog park, so Ryan and I decided on Sunday to drive over and check it out ... thinking, of course, that Kenzie would love it because she generally has sooo much energy.Overall, she did have a great time! The dogs (big and small, shy and outgoing) were friendly for the most part, although there was this one HUGE 9-month-old Alaskan Husky puppy that kept chasing Kenzie around and running her over and biting on her (eek!) that made my heart skip a few beats ... several times. So, we had to keep a close eye on them, and anytime they got close, someone was running over to separate them. Kenzie doesn't know not to initiate "play" with big dogs like that (her Golden Retriever friend Ari is so nice, after all), so I guess you can't blame the other dog. But nonetheless ... we must protect our puppy! So, I think next time we will go for the designated "small dog only" hour — I like the idea of that much, much better.
Here's a recap of her visit:Can we meet?
Following the crowd:
The English Staffordshire Bull Terrier was, by far, Kenzie's favorite playmate at the park. I was surprised to learn it is only 4 months old; it's a stout little thing that will no doubt get bigger and stronger!
Some mediation:
Drying off at home after bathtime!
This past Thursday I had a day off of work for Yom Kippur. In the midst of my errands, dishes, laundry and the few hours of work I had to do in order to make the day feel productive, I took a trip to Target to check out their doggie gear. My coworker, Elba, had pointed out that the store has great Halloween costumes for dogs, and upon seeing how cute they all were, I nearly decided that Kenzie would be a fluffy little bumblebee this year (cute, right?!):
I even carried the outfit around with me for awhile, but a darling autumn sweater caught my eye while I was strolling ... and it won me over. The owl sweater, I figured, Kenzie can get more wear out of, and it will be perfect for Thanksgiving!
The sweater couldn't fit Kenzie more perfectly, and I don't think she minds it ... too much. :)
This photo is a pretty good representation of how each of the dogs typically behaves on a walk. Well, to be fair, maybe Kenzie is a little calmer when it's just her.
Best friends (and yes, they were being held in place).

A pug puppet that she has loved so much it isn't really fit for photos — may have to throw it in the washing machine soon! The idea is for Ryan or I to put the puppet on our hands and squeak it and play with her. She likes that ... but overwhelmingly prefers sticking her head inside the puppet and attempting to turn the whole thing inside out!
