A Day of Running (not the good for you kind)

Maery Rose

Latte hurt her leg doing something yesterday so today became a day to try and keep Latte subdued and catch up on some of my errands.

I took the Brew Babes (my new nickname for the pooches) to Petsmart. I think they should add a fitting room to their stores. My girls were very relaxed and sprawled out in the isles pretty much preventing anyone else from passing. It was also very embarrassing when Latte was squiggling to get out of the harness and I was so busy I forgot Java and didn’t even notice right away when she nonchalantly walked away to check out things in the main isle of the store. Thankfully, she was a good girl and did not mingle with other dogs and came to me when called. Whew!

Shopping 
Frantically running
To and fro
Store after store
Spending lots of dough
A harness for Latte
A double leash
For the Brew Babes
Two coupons from Borders
Fulfilled photo and dog obsessed craves
And this cool monopod
Can double as walking stick
Promises to make my camera steady
And me very quick
So what do I do
After I’m tired and spent
Sit by the fire
And repent and repent
That was one of the other things I bought, a fire ring so I can get rid of all the dead branches that were piled up by the previous owners. Well, and sit outside with a beer. Which is where I’m heading now.
And don’t worry about Latte, she appears to be recovering rapidly as you can see from the photos in this post.

Let sleeping dogs lie. That’s what I’m thinking as I look at Latte snuggled next to me. She is flexing her toes and readjusting herself from being curled up into a basketball to stretching like an archer’s bow. Java is curled up next to Steve on the loveseat. She appears to be enjoying the blanket…

I fell on the ice. I was trying to carry a 50 lb bag of feed from the garage to the barn in the dark because I needed to get the feed out of the back of my car so I can put Java in there tomorrow when some woman and her kids come to…

Solo Trail Ride Squeeking of leather Calling of birds Riding in the woods It’s too purty for words. Just me and my horse Ambling along. It’s such a wonderful feeling Wanna break out in song. I found a melody In the beating of hooves As my troubles drift off And over tree roofs. – Mary…
