This is me, visiting K at St Joseph's new Orthopedic wing on the East side of Franklin St. It is so cool, that they allow me to come visit her. S is very proud of how much better I've gotten, riding the elevator. I
don't hunker down and cower in there any more -- it's just routine to me
now. The nurses get a big giggle out of my uncanny ability to find her room by myself, after we leave the elevator.
Our in-laws brought their new puppy Mookie to visit, from their home in San Francisco. Mookie had very sharp puppy teeth, and that enthusiastic puppy approach to nibbling everything, including the people and other dogs nearby. I was begrudgingly sharing my bed in this photo. S was nice enough, to fold the blanket, so that I had protection from Mookie's sharp puppy teeth.
Up and at 'em! Our HOA Spring Cleanup starts in 15 minutes. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it: Looking cute, while keeping K company, at the same time I'm keeping tabs on S as he looks out the window to gauge the weather. K doesn't usually let me sleep on top of her, but she's so sleepy, she hasn't noticed me yet.
My walking buddy is very gracious about picking me up off the snow every once in awhile, when I tell him that my feet are starting to sting from the cold. He holds them with his hands, and warms them up for a few minutes, then I'm good for another mile or so. While I'm waiting, I can look way down the street, and check out any other dogs that may be nearby. Hey, there's one now!
