With Aunt V somewhat settled in at the nursing home Katie and I finally had some time to do a little adventuring today.  Ok..not such an adventure.  But we did go to her favorite park!  It was a beautiful day and she wasn’t going to let me get away with putting her off.  She whined and huffed at me all afternoon till I broke down and loaded her up for the short trip to a good walk.

There were lots of people there, a softball game going on and a graduation party.  But we headed off for a solitary walk through the woods and field.  It was lovely.  We had to stop in the shade once for a rest, but otherwise we trotted right along.

On the way back to the car we stopped at the picnic pavilion and talked to some lovely ladies who said that Katie was a very pretty ‘miniature collie dog.”  Whatever.  She got petted and admired which is what she was after (That and any scraps of graduation lunch that might have fallen.  Too bad her mama wouldn’t let her have any.)

This last picture’s for Diana.  Yes I checked for snakes before we went up this overgrown path! 🙂

It’s been a long couple of months for Katie-girl as she took a back seat to other emergencies.  She’s been very patient about all the comings and goings.

See?  She can be a good girl!
