Diego

Either it is being quarantined, or his being our only dog now, losing Rex, whatever it is, I have completely bonded with Diego. I love him and appreciate him so much more.

Diego has always greeted me excitedly in the morning. Now since we wake up late and slowly, he comes to bed and cuddles with us for a few minutes. Then when I’m going to the bathroom, he presses up against my legs for loves. I used to have to protect Rex from getting knocked over. Now I can focus on Diego’s joy.

Diego loves to play outside. He invites us to come with him often by acting like he wants to go out and then not going and looking up with expectancy.

Diego lays at my feet while I do my quiet time in the morning.

When on the bed or the couch, he sleeps on his back. He used to not let me, but now does let me scratch his tummy. He loves to have the fur on his back next to his tail scratched.

Rex was a one person dog. Diego loves Scott unquestionably. But Diego is now a two person dog. He checks on me, lays near me awhile, then checks on Scott and lays near Scott awhile.

Diego makes me happy and I’m glad we have him. I love him.
