Maggie Loves Sydney
Waking up at our house is sometimes a relaxing experience. We often have nice music playing and good smells filling up our home. Other times waking up at HBHQ is the opposite of relaxing. Sometimes there are tears and bad smells.
More often than not Mags wakes up making happy noises and likes to contemplate her day for a few minutes before she busts out of bed. I’m kind of the same way, it takes me a second to wake up. Barry is a combo of both, sometimes relaxing for a second or two and sometimes his feet are already moving before they have hit the floor.
Sydney, on the other hand, the poor, lazy dog, doesn’t get a chance to decided if she is going to wake up slow or get a move on. This is due to the fact that Miss Maggie “I Love My Dog” Miller has decided that spending her first moments after waking with Syd are a great way to start a day. Sydney has yet to be totally convinced.
We’re Here….
When we bought our house a few years ago we felt like it needed a name and Joe suggested HBHQ and it seemed to stick. Jump a few years later and to this Christmas when my dad gifted us with a huge, heavy HBHQ sign that he made. (Flipper traditionally likes to give gifts that are nearly impossible to lift and fit through a doorway. When he ‘wrapped it,’ we just opened a small bead and he had to go outside to ‘get the rest of the gift.”) I’m sure some would smirk at having a nameplate so prominent, but I love it! We were headed out for a walk last weekend and decided to get some pictures of Maggie with the sign….
and before we knew it she had fallen down and nearly rolling down the hill. Of course she was fine, but looking at the series of pictures made us laugh so hard….she went from standing and happy to flat on her back, stunned, in seconds. After her tumble, she got right back up again and was all smiles.
In any case, if you decide that you want to come visit us, and we like visitors, we’re the house with a huge, heavy HBHQ sign and possibly a baby rolling down the hill.
See you soon?
