Touching base with Marvel, the adorable Rottie mix puppy who stayed with us last spring. We loved this update her family shared with us.
Marvel is doing really well. The kids are a little older now, so they're better at playing with her, and the neighbor kids come over pretty often to play with her, too. She has a walker who comes every day to walk and play with her for 45 minutes so she can get a good workout, and she spends a lot of time outside if the weather's nice enough. We built her a mid-century modern doghouse, and she LOVES to sit on TOP of it because then she can keep an eye on the cul-de-sac and all the comings and goings of the neighborhood. She doesn't seem to love to be inside it, however--one day when it started to rain and I went to call her in from the backyard, I saw she had chosen to hang out under the picnic table to avoid the raindrops instead of inside her dog house. Hazel and the next-door neighbor pick a lot of flowers from Hazel's flower box and they like to decorate the outside of Marvel's doghouse with the flowers, so she has a lovely flowered throne when she sits on top of it.
