Meanwhile, back home . . .

Maya is occupying my spot in bed while I'm away.

I asked Clay and the house sitter to send me some pictures of the dogs at home.

Vince and Spark in their usual spots. 

TJ always looks pretty in the light.

Jackie sitting at the top of the stairs. She won't
go outside for the house sitter and she's still
afraid of Clay too, although I expect that to be
better by the time I get home.

Sparky and Jackie at the top of the stairs.

TJ in the kitchen. That's Jackie and Sparky in
the hallway behind him.

TJ, Vince, and Maya

Maya in my spot in bed, TJ wishing.

Missing her daddy.
