8/8/25

 This morning I woke up and took the dogs out. I hooked up the leash to Penny and Ferguson and put Moe’s zap collar on. We were going to go for a walk up the road. 

Penny went down the stairs and as I lifted Ferguson out of the camper, Moe bull dozed his way out the door, sweeping my feet from under me. As I started to fall, I spread my arms out and landed on my right forearm and landed on my right butt cheek. It was not graceful note did I appreciate the blitz attack.

A series of words escaped me that could make a trucker cry. Moe was corrected and returned to the camper. We then we practiced sit/stay at least 10 times. Ouch, that hurt a little. I could feel the bruises forming. Stupid dog.

Another task we will be practicing this weekend.

I worked throughout the day. I had the dogs outside to enjoy the fresh air. These two stooges enjoyed the outdoors.

 I finished just in time for happy hour with my aunt and uncle. We discussed our dinner plans and I was easily talked into going out to dinner.

We went to a local restaurant and had a nice dinner, eating at an outside table, overlooking the bay. We sat at the outside seating and it was wonderful.

After dinner I took the dogs for a walk and went on a sunset cruise around the lake with Diane and the neighbor.

It was a nice ride around the lake. The lake was still and the boat effortlessly  motored around the lake. When we returned, Paul had finally arrived.

I built a great campfire and we all enjoyed the evening chatting and listening to music. Jiminy was swaddled and enjoyed falling asleep in his cozy blanket beside the fire.

As the evening went on, we finally decided to go to bed. Work gets in the way of our social lives at the lake. I am looking forward to going on the boat tomorrow. I am hoping to be swimming around in my tube!
