"Babysitting" Oliver

Oliver, Alex & Allison's dog, came to Camp Stanhope Friday evening so Alex & Allison could attend a wedding in Indianola on Saturday and go to the Iowa State Fair on Sunday before driving back to Waseca (MN). (Oliver is only 5-6 months old.)

In the picture below, Oliver is trying to intimidate his play-date, Marshall, our pastor's dog, who came to visit Sunday afternoon. Marshall is a little over a year and training to become a 'therapy' dog, who visits nursing homes and hospitals.

This is Oliver trying to be a 'lap dog' with John. He spent Saturday evening laying on the couch with me while I watched a DVD. (The cats did not appreciate him, especially after having only a day of rest between his visit and Izaac going back to Des Moines!)

I was thankful the weather was so beautiful both Saturday and Sunday here, that Oliver and I just sat around and enjoyed it (in-between our walks down the road to visit the cows and the pheasants).
