Oh how my heart jumped for joy when I saw Jake today!!!!!!!! We had not seen each other since he moved away with his family a little over a year ago. Mommy kept the surprise quiet as she loaded me into the car, I thought Jake was coming to my house to play and I was worried when mommy loaded me into the car as I thought I would miss Jake's visit. Only sneaky mommy was taking me to meet Jake at the park and when we pulled up next to the car holding my beloved friend I just went crazy!
As soon as mommy opened the door I took off towards Jake and he and I ran and ran and ran and played non stop for 30 minutes. I had so much fun that I even ignored the pond that was filled to the brim as it rained the day before and I am a lab and we like to swim so that speaks volumes of my love for Jake. He and I did our thing, humped off and on, Jake licked my ears, I slobbered on him, we ran around and ran the whole 2 acres of land with nothing between us but the wind. Jake is 5 years younger than me and I am a senior citizen but I ran like I was a teenager. So much so that right now I can not make up the steps to sleep with my mommy as I am so sore. But bless my mommy she gave me pain pills and rubbed and rubbed me gently and soothed my sore aching muscles. I am currently nice and cozy on the couch typing this before I turn in for the night.
Mommy said Jake is coming over to the house to visit me again this week, at least two more times, that is good because I do not think I can handle another run off leash play session where we run wild and free at top speed. I think the confines of our back yard is just right. After we played we shared a bowl of water but as soon as I heard Jake's parents say that they had to go, I threw myself at Jake and in turn stepped on and tipped the water bowl, splashing all the remaining water out and I snuggled up close to Jake as I just could not bare to see him leave me, not again. But mommy knowing how much I love Jake re-assured me the separation was only a brief time apart and then we would see each other again. I really, really do love Jake.
In more ways that one..............
