What a Day

This is how I feel at this moment. I am exhausted. WE had an over 2 hour walk with the dogs and a 45 minute aerobic - well I had the aerobics and Nathan did not but if I hear how exhausted he is, I may scream. hahahahaha

Let's see I came back from the walk, brushed out all the dogs. I just finished actually. I washed Brewer. I did the photos - yes today's photos. Swept for the upteenth time. Nathan did the walk and went to the grocery store. He also nagged me to exercise before the walk. Then I heard how much he hurts and well gee he didn't exercise nor brush out or give baths or sweep. Okay, that's my vent for the day but please....

Now that I got that out of the way, Ty arrived. Shelby visited. Shelby was a complete delight.

Cali conked out. Shelby jumped on her and Cali said LEAVE ME ALONE. I need my beauty sleep. After a 15 minute cat nap she was ready to go again. I wonder if that will work for me?

Gidget is a queen on the walk. She loves to lead in a deliberate way. She could go and go. I need her energy. Tonight Lynda dropped in and talked to her in Cantonese and Gidget was so excited to be with Lynda. So funny!

Oreo adores the walks. He walked with Panda today and they just plowed along and had a grand time. Nathan being the good neighbor that he is picks up everyone else's deposits - like the shar pei that was in front of us that went on the walk and I guess his owner didn't have a bag? Got to love it! Nathan picks it all up but I am not sure this stop, pick up, stop, pick up is good for my metabolism but it is what it is, I suppose. Let's see if I can do this tomorrow.

Cali stayed in a perfect heel. Adele and Shelby being the personalities that they are played all the way. Both was delightful. They are what gets me through this exercise.

Fiona and Truffie could be related - oh they are. They walk in perfect step up against each other the entire way not getting out of step once. I am amazed. I could go on but I think I will sit with the dogs after Brewer's dad comes and pretend to be awake.

Ty looks amazing and came blowing in playing with all. Photos of him tomorrow - that is if I am alive. Oh yeah class tomorrow. I may need toothpicks.

Those are great pictures. I feel like I was there. Thanks for having Shelby over. She has barely moved since we got home. Thoroughly relaxed and content.

Barb: That is what it is about. It was a pleasure. They do have a ton of fun and it does make me smile.

Would have loved to have seen Truffie and Fiona walking in step! Would have been even cuter with Fiona in the middle of her two chocolate boys!

Sylvia:

Will see about taking a video camera out but I try to concentrate on the walk vs. video taping. Ty's mom said its too hard to be correcting and talking to friends on a walk. I think I feel that way about taping but maybe a short clip will suffice and in the coat pocket it will go, if it fits. If it fits is the key as I have no desire to carry a camera around too when walking for 15 to 20 minutes each set of dogs.
