It’s been kinda nice being able to give them a backyard to play in again, where they can just relax and enjoy the sun or run around without worrying about leashes or even needing me around.
Though their age certainly creates many differences in their personalities, I like how this photo sums up many of the differences between the two of them. Both of them are fond of cuddling with you (they are lap dogs), but Floyd’s eyes say it all: he’s ready to pounce or move at a moment’s notice, reacting to whatever change he perceives in his environment. Then there’s Forbin in the background, licking his nose after a good yawn, unlikely to move unless the crumpling of packaging alerts him to the potential of food that he must inspect. Having one laid back, calm animal and another that’s high energy and attention seeking can at times be quite the juxtaposition. Yet, they both are as sweet and affectionate as you could ever ask for.
Normally Forbin would be staying home when we hop on Phish tour, but I thought it’d be nice to take him along for such an amazing journey.
As usual, he became anxious as we packed and our departure loomed, but I assured him he was coming with. He’s never traveled very far, but is an excellent car dog. Tomorrow we’ll do so some hiking in Boulder before picking up the rest of the crew and leaving for Telluride. Oh, and Forbs won’t be chained to a car tire on lot, he’ll be chilling at our dog-friendly resort.

Forbin and Floyd Play Fight
This is like a proud parent moment. Cutest thing ever going on over here right now. I should give them baths more often together.
Todd wanted me to stop it with all the long, serious posts and get back to cute dog pics. So I’m going to obliiiiiige him with this one of Forbin in the doggy bed under my desk right now.
