What is this life if full of care we have no time to stand and stare (and other stuff).

 


Zion loves looking out of my low windowed porch


---------------------------------------------------------------


My neighbours B and J have a dog named Maggie. She and Cooper met the other day and did well together.

B and J invited me to join them for lunch on Tuesday at aTiki Bar at the local Shriner's Lodge (at Beneva and Circus).  I hooked dear Cooper to the table after asking B and J not to give him people food, (Maggie gets (too) many French Fries!)

My Cooper rested and relaxed.  Such a good boy!

=================================================

At daybreak today I took C to Arlington Park.  To my joy M-rk, a city employee, was cleaning up the large dog park. I know M-rk from his good work at Bayfront Park. 

He met and greeted C, then said "let him loose in the small dog area".

That I did.   C (off leash) ran around with utter glee; did his stuff,  and returned to me at my call. Such a good boy!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Thursday morning I'll take Cooper for his intake at the vet of my choice.  It's up in Ellenton (a thirty minute or more drive) but it was a great place for Zion in his end days.

In the evening C and I will begin some "one-on one" training with Ann S, to enhance our leash walking.

                     Kewl. Cool. Super. Great.

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews.

This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
