Late last night we wearily arrived home in Chicago. While the pups ate a hearty dinner, I unpacked with my eyes half-open. I organized shoes and jackets outside our front door and was emptying my bags when I heard a knock from the front door. I opened the door to find…Eko!?
Somehow Eko snuck past my tired eyes and was hanging out on the foyer for five minutes before knocking to be let in. It was a long day. And so today, in continuing with tradition, today is a vacation from vacation day. The pups are knocked out on the couch and I’ll take the day to get organized and sort through video from the trip.  While I do that, here are a few more photos from our week in NJ.
Eko loving a fall walk along the trail
A synchronized romp at Emily’s

Emily completely oblivious to the epic battle happening behind her

A tanning session on the back porch

I thought it was too cute how my pups would lay in the sun, but long-haired Auggie preferred to rest in the shade

We even had time to work in a little fashion shoot

I think the hat fit Eko just a bit better

Can’t forget all the great fires we made!
We had a blast in NJ, but there’s no place like home. Thanks for following along, and thanks to everyone who recommended I check out buying an electric fireplace. I think it will be a hit with the pups this winter.
love the pic of tanning session on the back porch. rest up – tomorrow is friday (yeah) and the weekend warriors await
Oh no, electric fireplaces should be used while you’re eating plastic food.
It looks like all of you had a great time:-)
that’s the thing about trips away – as good as they are, and as much fun as we all have, there isn’t anything quite like being back home.
Old Cissy prefers the shade, I like the sun and close up to the wood stove
Great pics Will…such a sweet set of vacation shots…we have been needing one here!! glad you all had a blast and got home safely 🙂 loves Fozziemum
Welcome home, all of you. I’m glad you made the trip, and hopefully, Penny handled it well. I love the photo of Emily with the dogs carrying on behind her. But, we all missed you. So, back to normal, huh? lol
Dottie and Tuffy-Cat
Great pics. Thanks for taking the time to share even though you guys are wore out! Glad you are home safe and sound!
Wow, looks like you had a great time. Whee love the one of Emily missing the epic battle. That always seems to happen in our house when whee are getting into mischief!

We are always wiped out after a vacation too! Good Eko decided to knock on the door to come back in. Poor guy!
I’m with Auggie on that! I stick to the shade and leave the sun for our cats!
hahaha knocking to come in, what a ham and a good boy
