We took advantage of the nice Sunday weather and moved north a few days early to avoid traveling in the rain. We're here for a week to visit Dad & Anna. They're doing well. We're all eatin' pretty good, too. Thankfully, we can drive over & back to Dad & Anna without driving by a Golden Rule BBQ. Hard to pass that place up!
We're also in all the rain that seems to be hanging out here in the southeast this week. It's suppose to break this weekend. After all the activity that we got in while in Gulf Shores, it's been a little hard to get walks in this week. Hopefully, that'll change this weekend.
We did get a walk in while at Anna's place. We're normally escorted by the area dogs through various parts of our walk. Most are nice and are glad to see us, but this time we were escorted by a new dog - one that looked a lot like a little Jack Russel Terrier. We've seen it before, and we always look forward to seeing it. It's always glad to see us and takes advantage of our presence to taunt its neighbors' dogs who are fenced in and come out to "greet" us as we walk by. Normally it just hangs out in the area around the house it comes from and until this week, it's never followed us.
This time it decided to walk with us for most of our route. It was a clean dog when we started, but after it got to play in the water in the ditches, run up & down muddy banks, taunt its neighbors' dogs, and get into arguments with other dogs, it looked fairly scuffed up & dirty. I can only imagine what its owners thought when they saw it after it got back. And I'll bet it went home thinking it'd had a great adventure: "I swam the fastest rivers, I climbed the steepest mountains, I invaded the 'evil' black lab-mixed's territory and prevailed..." We had a great time just enjoying its company and look forward to seeing it, again.
Well, as for next week we plan to move Tuesday to Stone Mountain to visit Doug and Louise. As always, that's the plan. And just like this week, sometimes it changes. Later, David
