I’ve had my great-niece with me since last Monday. She is eight, and has been moving from house to house, visiting with family. I took vacation starting Wednesday, and every day, I’ve been picking up my grandkids, and doing something fun with them.

So far we’ve been to the Sweet Frogs (frozen yogurt,) the pool, the Children’s Museum, Home Depot for project day, and today, we’re heading for the Farmer’s Market.

I took LOTS of pictures this week, but only a few of dogs. Most of my photos were of kids, and most of our funny moments were also…with kids.

Because my great-niece and my granddaughter are close in age, my granddaughter has been with me Weds-Friday.

My niece was sleeping on a fold-put chair, and we decided my granddaughter would sleep with me.

Turns out, it was like wrestling a toddler.

I have a futon in my room, and because it was my granddaughter, Sampson had to sleep on the bed with her. So it was me, Sampson and my granddaughter.

After being awake most of the night, I decided to sleep on the floor the next night. I have a thin mattress topper that I threw on the floor, and I assumed Sampson would sleep with me. I was right.

Delilah started out on her bed, but then jumped on my bed, and my granddaughter wasn’t happy with that, so I had to call Delilah down.

She came, but wasn’t happy about it. So when I woke up in the morning, I wasn’t surprised to see that she wasn’t on her bed.

But when I went looking for her, I couldn’t find her.

Turns out, she curled up on my niece’s bed, and both of them were snoozing contently.

It made me smile, because of all the dog beds, couches and places to sleep in my house, my dogs choose the people. And I can’t help but smile at that.

What did your pet do that made you smile this week?
