My turn...

I always see Tara typing away on this thing called a computer, so I decided when she got up to get lunch that it was my turn! All I saw on the screen were pictures of Bode and I, I think Tara is still finalizing what she is going to say at the workshop in Tampa tomorrow. Bode and I have the easy part...we just get to go along for the ride and play with people that attend the workshop!

Many of our clients talk about the computer and even have asked Tara to check something called Myspace and Facebook during session. I think they forgot what toys are! Our clients always have cell phones and computers or gaming systems that make a lot of noise. When did a ball or a doll become less desired? Bode loves to play ball and wishes more of the kids would play with him.

Tara's done with her lunch and Bode has his football for her...I think we are going outside to play before one of us goes back to work for the afternoon clients....now where is that spell check button....

with love,
Abbey

Busy Schedules

We want to apologize for the delays in our posts lately. It seems like time is not on our side and the days just get so busy! This week we are finishing up our presentation that we are taking to the Tampa Chapter of Play Therapy on Friday. We love road trips and can't wait to meet everyone up there! If we don't post again this week, we surely will about our trip!

Abbey and Bode!

This week's adoptable...

Meet Dott...she has been at the Gulf Coast Humane Society for a long time and would to say that you are her forever home. She enjoys playing ball, but doesn't do well with children and some other dogs---she is picky about which ones she will play with! She will be turning 3 soon and you could make her birthday wish come true by providing her the love she deserves! www.gulfcoasthumanesociety.org

This week's adoptable...

What a busy week it has been! We have let time get away from us and have not been keeping up with our blog! There as been some great things going on and later today we will post the picture of our "Pay it Forward" donation to the Gulf Coast Humane Society.

After much consideration, we have decided to feature two cats in this week's adoptable section...it has been really hard to agree to do this since they are not our favorite creatures, but we think everyone deserves a home.

Knight is only 1 ½ years old, but has already gone through a lot.  He was originally found as a kitten with a very badly deformed leg.  Unfortunately it could not be saved so it had to be amputated.  He does quite well, but not as well as we would hope for a cat as young as Knight.  He is not very good with other cats and absolutely hates being in the cat socializing room, so sadly he does not get as much exercise as to benefit his remaining hind leg.  Knight is a little on the shy side and is a “love at first sight” cat.  He will either love you or stay away from you.  A person with cat experience and respect for their little quirks would be wonderful for Knight.  He is only little, about 7 pounds, but he has the energy of a tiger!

Kitty is a beautiful senior of nearly 11 years.  She started off as the original crabby cat, but she is melting a little more every day.  Once Kitty decides that she likes you (and eventually she loves every person who knows about a good ear rub) she will head butt you, give you Kitty kisses, and if like turns into love, she will even roll on her back for you and gently let you tickle her not inconsiderable tummy.  She is a wonderful wonderful cat and really deserves to have a loving home in her autumn years.

Bode

Happy 4th Birthday, Bode!

Happy, Happy Birthday to my little brother, Bode! (Can I still call him little even though he is bigger than me but I am older? hmmmm).

Anyhow....Bode turns 4 today! We love birthday's at our house, we get spoiled and get to have more freedom than normal! Bode got to sleep in and stay under the covers (one of his favorite things) after Tara and Geoff left for work! I heard Tara say she was going to the dog bakery and Geoff said something about doggie ice cream...yum! I am so excited I can't wait to see what we get since it is always a family event to celebrate a birthday!!

What do you do for your birthdays? Do you have traditions?

Nap time for me...I think I will dream about some of those yogurt covered cookies Tara gets from the dog bakery and when I wake up, maybe she will be home for lunch with them!!

Playfully,

Abbey
