It was kind of a neat morning—Mamaw let my nose take the lead when we went outside and we ended up taking a very nice long walk. (I think she got sunburned). She knows that before long the weather isn’t going to be as nice and it will be more of a “chore” to get our walking done.

She shared with Poppy that since his brother in law, Darrell Swanson passed away a month ago; she’s fallen off the wagon and is fighting a couple extra pounds. She warned him that mealtime might be disjointed for a while cause she’s gonna get rid of that right now! He’s really a good guy and understands her.

You’d think with all those darned crab apples she picks up 2 or 3 times a day, she would work it off but I guess not. I hate to see her work so hard outside but she says she loves it. This is the first year in oh so many that she’s been able to get out and play in the yard or walk or whatever.

Mamaw took me to the dog park today. By the end of our hour there we had so many dogs. And Mamaw found the one (in the BIG dog area) that attacked me. He is so aggressive—well, Mamaw says he’s just awful. And she warned the little dog owners about him too! In the meantime, I couldn’t really relax and enjoy the park as much as I usually do cause he kept barkin at everything—Yes, barking at everything. We came home, I got brushed (I’m beautiful when I’ve just been brushed Mamaw says) and needed a long nap.

I count myself so lucky to have this family. They are always looking out for me. Ya know you hear about these animals that have been abused and those adopted from a rescue league and just thank God over and over again that you’re special to them.
