dog sitting: day one

Grandma and Grandpa left around 9:30am. I was awake around 8:30 thanks to going to sleep in a timely manner. When the grandparents left the dog was not happy. He walked around and cried for about 15 minutes, then I decided it might be a good move to go outside and play. Artie (the pup) reeeeeally likes to play with the ball. We played with the ball for about 15 minutes and then took a walk around the huge yard (while still playing with the ball). Now he's laying next to me. Every time I go anywhere he is right by my side. He's kind of needy... we should be good for each other then.
