Change

Hi,

Today the weather was great.  Clear sky, warm air, and a forecast that didn’t happen.  We can wait a few days for more rain (555).

The ‘Easy Monday’ song was memorable for some.  Here is the entire chorus for your consideration:  “So __ __ __ __, where the dogs of society howl.  You can’t plant me in your penthouse, I’m going back to my plough.  Back to the howling old owl in the woods, hunting the horny-back toad.  Oh, I finally decided my future lies beyond the __ __ __.”  Clue:  The actual title is four words.  There is a color involved.  

Our daily schedule is not what it used to be.  Everything now revolves around Jai Dee.  When we go to bed, when we get up, how many naps we take, it all depends on the puppy.  He has a routine, to a certain degree, and he brought us into it (555).  There are about 4 naps a day (we don’t take that many), three meals (a tiny lunch), and lots of exercise.  He’s a little dynamo that requires lots of activity to tone down his boundless energy.  Tonight, for the third time, we took him to the exercise park right near us.  Last night it was pretty empty, but tonight all the walkers and runners were out.  Jai Dee thought he was supposed to interact with everyone he saw.  That meant a lot of leash tugging.  He finally got it, that he’s not the ambassador of goodwill at the park.  The walks are 15 minutes at a brisk pace.  If the humans are up to it, they will get longer over time.  He comes home and crashes.  Yea.

The first photo is the bridge we take into town.  The second photo is what puppy looks like after the walk.

This morning we went to The Wanderer, where we met Sutheera for lunch.  Jai Dee was his charming self and made a new friend.  During a walk in the woods, we came to a big pile of leaves that is becoming compost.  Oh, heaven to a dog’s nose.  Jai Dee got a little frantic, wanting to go into the pile, but I held him back.  It was something to behold.

Sutheera is going to Japan for a short vacation.  She will be in the province at the base of Mt. Fuji, in farm country.  

It will be a nice contrast to being head of the School of Business at Rajabhat University.

Have a Happy Tuesday.

                           Peace,

                                     Danny
