The family went hiking, but no pets allowed on the trail. So Rey and I went and checked into the motel, relaxed, then went back at the earliest they’d show up. We waited a while for them to get back.
First we were optimistic they’d show up soon. Selfie of me and Rey in the car. Rey is awake, up on all fours, and eager for them to return.
Next Rey settled down in the back, and took a small nap.
Finally Rey is awake, and panting with a bleep of a tongue barely sticking out.
The family rented a boat this weekend, and Rey went with us. She got to an island, and played in the water.
Here she is running out from the water.

Rey got given a stuffed squeaker at my kids school. It didn't last 6 hours.
I'm not in bed right now, so Rey is using a body pillow as her pillow.
I went to bed early last night. Rey jumped up and kept me company.
Here she is with her head on a blue body pillow, eyes closed.

My dog Rey is using my leg as a body pillow/bed.
Our family woke up early, and we all started cuddling. Rey wanted in on the love and came to cuddle too. At some point I became the pillow for the rest of the family.
Rey is the only one still here.

This is what I got last night laying in bed. All cozy with my blanket. But Rey decides to put her paws on my legs, and chew on her bone.
The family had movie night last night. Rey decided to let us watch it by laying down and going to sleep on the bed. She stretched out next to our kids body. Perfect for getting head scratches from them and me.
Rey rests on the couch, head laying on the armrest.
Rey is resting next to me on the floor. She brings her head up to look past the camera because I brought it close to her for the picture.
Rey is resting on her side, lying on the carpet. The camera is at her level, shooting from just in front of her snout. Her long white whiskers stand out.
Bed Dog Rey is resting next to me as I watch ST:Discovery on my phone. She’s got her eyes closed as I brought the camera up to her nose and get a closeup shot of her face.
Rey had zoomies tonight. Afterwards she sat next to me on the couch, putting her face close to me, mildly panting.
Rey went digging at the beach. She also ran laps around me, experiencing the zoomies.
We went to the beach this morning, when it was cool and overcast. My kid has an adult shovel they use to dig at the beach. Rey loves sand, and gets zoomies when her paws touch it. She also wanted to dig her own hole.

Rey curled up next to me on the couch. Here is her face, a pillow, and then the tip of her tail fur out of focus.
We were dropping something off, so Rey got to sit in the front seat, and stick her head out. I have my phone sticking out the roof to take the picture, and she is looking back at me, and I can just hear her voice, “Dad!”
Rey snoozing in bed.
Loose sheet, a pillow, a blanket. Rey is laying on her side, eyes closed, so comfy.
Rey has bed head fur, the long fur coming off her ears is sticking out in all different directions.
Dad, do you have anymore of that burrito? I know you gave me the last piece, but I want more.
Rey came trick-o-treating with us tonight. She’d hopped into bed played down on our comfy blanket and closed her eyes to nap. I grabbed a picture of just her head resting there.
Then I started moving, and she got excited, and started hopping around.

I’m relaxing on the bed, before starting work. Rey is curled up near me. Eyes closed resting too.
Park Dog. I took my purebred mutt to the dog park. She smelled some of the other dogs, chased a small pink ball a few times. When dad sat down, she chilled too.
Here she is laying stomach down, rear legs spread wide, in the hard packed sand. She’s turned her head towards me to face the camera.

Literal HeadButt. Rey was relaxing on the couch, and I sat next to her. She moved to lay down and put her head against my butt.
Rey is resting her head on the side of an easy chair. She has her body off frame, but she’s relaxing with her eyes closed.
Another sleepy Rey. A headshot of my mostly white 60 pound dog as she rests on the couch.
Throwback five years. A black and white photo of our pretty old chocolate lab as she rested/napped on our brown couch.
I wanted to do another photo shoot with Rey. She ran off when I was telling her to get on the bed. Even Mom calling her failed.
What worked was the bribe of cheese. “Where do you want me mom? Here, okay. Can I get closer to you mom, you are a bit far away to hand me cheese?”
Here Rey lays on a bed, with the photo cropped to just show her head. Her tongue is curling up, touching the entire front of here nose.
And another shot, with her mouth wide open as a piece of cheese flys into frame.

Rey: I got it, I got it.
Rey: I don’t got it.
Rey misses catching the tossed cheese and needed to find out where it landed on the bed to eat it. We have a profile of her head as she looks to the side and down to find the cheese.
