This was probably ranks up there as one of the "best days ever" for Sweets and Tater. Start with the 9 am fun run in the woods, nothing unusual until...I saw turkeys/buzzards/geese in the distance and reminded myself for the upteenth time that I must microchip my dog (as I'm watching her bound into the woods, out of sight and earshot). Thankfully, Tater will happily hang near me wherever Sweets takes us. After 20 minutes of intense, eyes glazed over, tongue hanging out running, Sweets "waited" for me, lapped up a cold drink from the stream and then was escorted back to the house with my makeshift leash (my long sleeve shirt).
I was reminded today (gut check) that I will start writing something soon. As a kid I was published and wrote for our local paper (real important stuff like "should Michael Jordan be paid more than the President?") So, this is for Mike Smith my Creative Writing teacher and mentor, wherever he is.
Then back to the house to gather the pups for a run at the lake. We said hi to the Great Blue Heron we disturbed, ate some mudd, took a a dip in the water while mom checked the dogs for their first ticks of the season. Back to the house for dinner- raw chicken & turkey medallions (obligatory nail trim here) and then a raw hambone.
Life is good, all is well. Hug your dogs,
Luv,
Sweets & Tater
