I’m getting in my steps by walking my granddog today. Oliver’s spending a few days with us while our daughter and son-in-law are on vacation, but first he had to spend some time with the in-laws. This joint custody thing is tough.

Oliver loves to be outside. When we’re out walking, he’s got his nose to the ground the whole time. That’s what terriers do. He and I are both on the lookout for rabbits. If I spot one first, I pull him off in another direction. If he spots one first, I hang on. It’s amazing how strong a 7 pound Yorkie can be.

Inside, Oliver doesn’t let up. He’s constantly on patrol and let’s us know when any animal goes by. People, he loves. If he encountered a burgler I’m sure he would lick him instead of biting him. But let a fly get in our house, and it’s Ollie to the rescue. We may not be safe from burglers, but we’re definitely safe from flies.
