Hey It’s Jet Here.
Mom’s employer, Mr. Andy, asked if Mom wanted to take care of Austin this weekend. Of course, Mom jumped at the chance. Armed with the house key and a security review, she looked forward to her first visit of the weekend after our evening constitutional last night. Mom wondered if Austin would remember her.
Austin greeted her in fine golden fashion with barks and major wagging. His tail wagged so hard and fast the back half of his body had to compensate in the opposite direction! He looked like he choreographed a Latin Salsa!
After a quick “empty the tank”, Mom decided to see if they could play inside since she arrived after dark and she couldn’t find her light stick at home. Of course Mom sat on the floor and gave Austin a proper “hello, great to see you again” back massage and major belly rub.
Then, she told Austin to, “bring me a toy.” Wagging. Go ahead Austin, “where’s your toy?” Wagging. “Austin, let’s play rope… do you still have your rope?” Austin reversed and went off to the family room and trotted back with his prized rope! You may recall this is the toy Mom purchased for him during “Olympic Dog Sitting Week!” I bet if I saw Mom at that moment, I would have seen a humongous smile on her face.
Oh they had fun playing tug, fetch, with intervals of Austin playing with the rope and Mom taking pictures. Mom transcribed a text from Austin to his human parents letting them know he felt comfortable with Mom and enjoyed seeing her again.
Another great Austin Weekend.

Hey... It's Jet Here 
Awwww that is so wonderful that your Mom was reunited with Austin!! sounds like he totally remembered her!
Hey Dakota, Jet here. Hi Miss Caren.
Oh he did indeed. They really enjoy their visits together. In fact, right after we read your post and comment, Mom’s off to give him a mid afternoon tank emptying/play session! 🙂
Hey Jet, Austin looks like a cool dog. Did you get to play with him too?
Hey Bongo, Jet here. Hi Miss Laura.
Dude, his humans think he can’t play well with others. Mom has something to share about that… so, she’s working on showing them Austin can do it! I think the three of us could have a lot of retriever fun.
Mr. Andy and Austin are soooo lucky to have you as a pet sitter! Woofs from Jeffie and Rudy
Hey Jeffie, Hey Rudy, Jet here. Hi Miss Sue.
How kind of you to say that about my Mom. Sending you Jetty kisses and JJ hugs for complimenting our Mom. 🙂
Glad you had fun with your buddy

Hey Urban Hounds, Jet here. Hi Miss Kate.
Only Mom had fun, we’re not allowed to play with him… YET… (Mom’s working on his humans!)
Too bad he could not just come and stay with your at your house but it sounds like Austin is having fun anyway.
Hey Emma, Jet here.
We would like that too, however, his human parents think he doesn’t play well with others. We think we could help him with that! 🙂
Austin is so handsome!
Hey Crystal, Jet here.
JJ thinks so too! Guess what? He was Bachelor #1! Read this. https://heyitsjethere.wordpress.com/2012/07/21/the-dating-game-finale-viewer-voting/
So fun! Austin is a cutie. My dogs know, “Get your toy” but I have not taught them to distinguish between toys. I let them choose their favorite which can change from day-to-day. Yesterday, Pierson’s favorite toy was his bed blanket.
Hey it’s Jet here. Hi Miss Dawn.
JJ knows the general “get your toy, too”… I used to, before Little Miss Happy Happy Toy Hoarder arrived last winter! Austin only has the one rope, so… maybe that explains it!
BOL! Pierson liked his bed blanket…
Hi Jet, Gracie here! Austin sounds like a fun friend! Do you get to hang out with Austin and play too?
Hey Princess Gracie, Jet here. (glad you like our greeting style!!! 🙂 )
Not yet, his humans say Austin does not get along with other K9s well. Mom made some progress with that yesterday, so, maybe over time. Mom said I would LOVE his backyard.
That Austin is one handsome boy and I have no doubt he was really happy to see you and have some fun while his peeps were out of town!
Hey Golden Pines Gang,Jet here. Hi Miss Kim.
As long as Mom remembers who her MOST handsome boy is, yes, I guess Austin is handsome.
Guess what? Before you met us, Austin was bachelor #1 on a date search for JJ. Read this. https://heyitsjethere.wordpress.com/2012/07/21/the-dating-game-finale-viewer-voting/
Aw, Austin is a cutie too!
Hey Murray, Jet here.
Mom confessed she calls him handsome… however, PROMISED that I’m her most handsome boy! 🙂
Austin must have been very excited.
Benny & Lily
Hey Benny, Hey Lily, Jet here.
From what Mom shared, he surpassed even the expected happy, happy Golden greeting! 🙂
Just loving the picture in my mind of Austin wagging his tail so hard his bum had to compensate in the other direction. Just love it! 🙂
Hey Lady Litchi, Hey Boks, Jet here.
BOL! Glad we shared the visual accurately, we can tell you “got it!” Thanks Miss Susan, you make us feel 10 feet tall!
It’s great to see Austin again, I feel like I have missed him almost as much as your mum! Tho I do still love you too
Hey Dalton, Jet here.
Gosh, now I’m blushing, sending Jetty kisses right back.
Mom told Mr. Andy she got a little misty when she said goodbye last evening. Mr. Andy said Mom can visit any time! Yippee!
Ahh what a sweet tale 🙂 xx happy playing Austin
Hey Moggies, Jet here.
So nice to hear from you. 🙂
Thank you for saying… Mom really enjoyed her time with Austin.
