Keeping Nili busy when it rains

Woof good morning, Winter has arrived or should I say the rain grrr which means less time in the park especially as daylight savings are not helping either as it gets darker earlier. That means less playtime for me, so Mom is trying to figure out how to keep me quiet and busy during the day.

Layla used to sleep most of the day or chew on bones but hated the rain so we hardly went out but Nili is like an energizer bunny wanting to go nonstop, oy vey.

You see friends, I bark at Mom for attention when she starts working and that makes her mad as she loves peace and quiet BOL but I need to remind her that I am here and need attention. That makes her stop working and play with me till I get bored with that. My favorite thing is making head bumps against Moms’ legs for attention also and I have tripped her once or twice but thank goodness she did not have her coffee mug in her hand although kadoof she fell on the carpet and phew did not hurt herself. I have an old Mom, and I forget and think that everything I do is funny not thinking of the consequences.

So how Mom is trying to deal with my indoor boredom and need any ideas that you have. I love my Kong which Mom stuffs with carrots which keeps me busy, I have killed most of the squeakers in my toys and Mom refused to buy anymore, the toy pile is growing BOL, I love my YOMP ball which you can fill with yoghurt, or any other spreadable food which cleans my teeth at the same time (You can see them on my affiliate page plus you have a coupon there.

Another thing which is the best of the best is bones which I love. Mom goes to the butcher and buys beef neck bones 2 inch thick, half boils them to get the blood out so the house stays clean, cools it off and yummm I can chew for hours on them. My favorite morning ritual now is to grab my bone towel and walk around the house with it in my house hinting to Mom that it is bone time. She is miserly BOL and only gives me one a day. They also keep my teeth pearly white so there is a method to her madness.

 

I am going for walks, wearing my raincoat, I do not like the rain but potty breaks with exercise is very important and Mom does not give in to me when I sit and refuse to walk, she wins on this one as she knows I am desperate to potty so will walk and do it once we get going. I do not like pee pads and have chewed them to pieces so it is not worth putting them on the floor. Plus walking for Mom is really good also so off we go.

I need to smell along the way

 

So that is what is happening in the Nili Neighborhood, trying to keep busy, napping more and of course snuggling under the covers at nights.

 

Be warm, safe, make lots of memories, have a wonderful week,

Nili

Another week gone by

Woof hello everyone,


How are you all doing and we hope you are all staying safe and healthy.


San Francisco as you know is on lock down although thank goodness we are able to go for walks and get some fresh air so last Sunday I decided I need to see the ocean. I dressed safely, put Layla in her backpack and off we went on a tram down to the beach for a couple of hours. It was the best medicine for both of us, fresh sea air just recharged my batteries. Layla of course was in seventh heaven, fresh new smells, able to walk off leash and it was great for her. 

I am going to try do something different this weekend also as I feel lately she does not want to go out too much and is bored with our area, not wanting to walk like she did in the past.  I know she is not sick as she is eating like a pig LOL.


Yesterday a friend of mine called to tell me he has some lamb bones for her, best thing to happen as she chewed away yesterday and wagged her tail. I have enough for her for a couple of days which is great.


So we are dealing with the lock down, I have pulled away quite a bit from social media as I am trying to stay as calm as possible.


My only concern and I do worry about is the Domestic Violence Victims who are on lock down with their abusers, as someone said, this is when abuse is going to get really bad and unfortunately due to lock downs the resources are not out there as it normally would be as most non profits are closed. So let us all pray for them and keep them in your thoughts. I am one of the lucky ones but so many are not.


And now Layla is moaning LOL as she wants some cuddles so am off here to spoil her which makes me feel great.


Please be safe all, take care and share with us what you are doing with your pets.
Woof with love Layla
