Free Jilly

On Thursday Jillian completed her 6-month quarantine process. Which means she is a free dog! This also means we have been here six months already...Wow! Anyway, Jillian is now able to explore Okinawa. Up until this point she has been complaining that Japan was boring, because all she has been able to do is go outside on the leash to go potty. Now that she is off her quarantine she can go for walks, car rides (to places other than the vet), sightseeing, and best of all...the beach! We took Jill out on Saturday to celebrate this occasion. We went to Araha Beach, just down from the base off of 58. It has a nice walking path, playgrounds, and all around good scenery. I realize poor Jill has taken a back seat to Olivia, and she hasn't made many appearances on the blog. So, to celebrate Jill and her freedom, this post is all about her!

In these first few pictures, Jillian is still stuck at the house unable to explore. I'm sure you can see the misery on her face. Brace yourself, you are about to see a sad dog...
This was when we first got here. We still had to loaner furniture!


"How much is that doggie in the window?" This is what she does when we leave her. Yes, that is the kitchen sink she is standing on. Thankfully, she has met her match with the concrete block that we live in, so she doesn't destroy the house anymore. And yes, this is a little glimpse as to what our "house" looks like on the outside...


Getting a little bored...still with the government furniture.

When we first got our furniture...You would have thought this was her bed, she was so happy to finally have it! We had to push her out of it so we could get in! When you guys ask "Where's Jill?" This is pretty much where she usually is and what she is usually doing...being lazy.


Seriously dog? She took up the entire couch! Rough life, this quarantine business...

And finally Free! She was like, "Gosh guys, I can't believe you haven't taken me here yet this whole time!"

She was a little unsure about the concrete pillar things...

Over on the other side with the beach, she jumped right in! Although, she wasn't supposed to...Daddy didn't want her to get dirty!

She is thinking this is pretty cool:

"Yay! Look where I am!"

Kissing her baby:

Driving back home. The cube is so small, I can get both Mike driving and Jill in the back seat in the same shot!
