Summer has a hard job. She keeps eyes on both of us almost all the time.
Today I had to do some mowing in front of our house.
My husband went for a walk on the other side of the house.
Poor Summer parked herself in the doorway trying to look both ways at once.
She says her life would be so much easier if we would cooperate and hang out together all the time.
I told her I will think about it.

I finally got Summer loaded up and down the hill. I thought this morning's Fireside Fedi experience was interesting. I'm sure it was clear to anyone who watched that the only thing I know for sure about Mastodon is that it is chock full of kind, intelligent and interesting folks and that I am thrilled to be here.
Summer super needed a good run today.
The wind was almost too much for me. It was sand in the eyes level fierce. The shifting sands also make for more precarious walking and I did fall down once. I tripped on a root that the wind uncovered. It took Summer about 15 seconds to realize I was down. She raced to help and stood uphill where I could use her collar to steady myself to stand up in the soft drift.
Lucky I have plenty of padding and the sand is soft.
There are lots of Summer photos and I like all of them so prepare yourself for a happy dog overshare.

I spent the morning being prodded and poked in preparation for getting a something stuck down my throat to look around.
I am hesitant to get this procedure because of the potential exposure to whatever is floating around at the hospital.
I asked that my providers mask. They said that was a reasonable request but couldn't promise anything.
The person doing my screening also suggested that because I will be under general anesthesia it would be a good idea to get a colonoscopy. Kind of a twofer.
What a deal!
As tempting as it was I said no thank you.
I felt like I was shopping for a used car.
Summer gave me a look when I recounted my adventure.
She says next time I should try going to her vet who hands out treats and scritches ears.
I will think about it.
Good morning, Mastodon.
