We’ve had the best weather for the past couple of days, highs in the mid 70’s, sunshine, no rain, blue skies, puffy white clouds and occasional gentle breezes.  And even better I’ve been working most days shifts from 5 to 9 p.m. so Katie and I have the whole day together.    I can’t think of a better way to end the summer.

Of course we’ve  worked on our obedience skills…and I’m getting better! No, really, we’re working on heeling and sit and stay and recall.  Plus we’ve done a fair amount of playing too; her favorite at the moment being Frisbee out in the yard.  And we’ve gone on a walk through the neighborhood each afternoon.  She’s having fun with all the activity.

Have to say my favorite thing is sitting on the deck with a good book.  While I’m reading, she’s on deck alert, watching out for those rascally rabbits or chipmunks or squirrels.  Kind of wears her out.  She’s asleep, upside down on the sofa now, getting prepared for another big day tomorrow.

Well, sort of asleep.
