Observations on Dump Trucks
In the last week there has been an onslaught of dump trucks at the beginning of my morning walk.
Dump trucks tend to travel in pairs. (Except this morning, and I find this behavior odd.)
Dump trucks come from at least five different directions.
I am not supposed to chase dump trucks.
Letting one dump truck go is a challenge. Not chasing the second dump truck is ridiculous.

Long Week
Katie sprayed me down with the hose before we went in the house after our walk today. That was really unnecessary. I think it was pretty clear she could tell that I did not want the hose water on me. Besides, Joe gave me a bath yesterday. What's up with these people?
I spent a few days at Dog-ma. I don't know where Katie and Joe went, but they weren't there. I was so tired when I got home I just went to bed.
Before that I got a bone. No one has ever let me eat a bone before. Joe gave it to me and I took it and kept expecting him to take it back. But he didn't. It was longer than my head. I ate most of it right then and there. No time to waste, somebody might change their mind. It broke into three parts. I crunched some of them up, and some took longer. There was a lot of good marrow in there. Maybe I'll get some more.

Dog Day's of Summer
It's been a lot quieter at the cemetery lately. There is hardly anyone around. Even if you do see someone, mostly you just sniff their butt and wander on your way. Misjudging a playmate could result in 10 minutes of panting for a not completely satisfying experience.
This morning was nice. It was a little cooler. There was another dog with S.'s owner. He had a one track mounting mind, but that's fine, because you can make anything a game. We also saw a springer spaniel puppy, and little while latter P who I haven't seen in ages. She had a stick we each tried to keep.
