Well, well, well—things are different around here today! I guess they decided to quit having runny noses and get up and do something!
Mamaw had read in the paper about some bronze art at the Urbandale Library park area so she gathered together “most of the house” and off we went. We got to walk in the park and take photos too. The bronze piece was a Grandpa and it looked like his grand daughter cause they seemed to really have a good relationship. It is just a lovely sight to behold and we enjoyed our time there so much. We’ll need to research this so we can tell ya about it.

And then it was one to Clive where the depot area put up those sculptures we drove over to see another day but didn’t have the camera. I told Mamaw she needs to wear the damned thing around her neck—she’s always “seeing” a photo opportunity. That also was very nice but there was no literature to pick up to tell ya about so I gotta go to the Internet and find some information. After all, ya gotta see this!

And then—A RIDE! We drove all over and Mamaw and Poppy just visited and visited. Poppy had the top open too, so I smelled and smelled. Guess we all did our thing. But when we got home, I was pooped! And Mamaw was too…she took a nap and I helped her.

And then—another trip to PetSmart. Mamaw is so disgusted at me cause my nose wants to “drag” us on our walk instead of enjoying the walk. She asked Poppy to go with her to try on yet another new contraption to help me behave. They actually stuck me in it right in the store! It’s comfy enough—I just don’t want to have to sleep all night in it.

Home again—and directly out for a nice walk. I mean nice too—the contraption seems to help me and I only pulled 3 times. We’re startin over with the walking cause I’ve gotten a little out of hand. (smile) When we got home she told Poppy we had a really good time—and we did. Neither one of us was huffing and puffing the way we had been. It’s like we were workin “against” each other. She says we’re gonna do it again tomorrow.

Tonight at 9:00 was Hawaii Five-0. I knew she wouldn’t want to miss that so I just let her go to the bedroom all by herself cause I put myself to bed. I’m a pooped dog tonight!
