A Sunny Day!

Finally, the sun came out after many dreary, rainy days.  Although when Mocha & I went out at 7:00 the sun wasn't quite up yet.  We had a chilly walk, but did our usual route.  Mocha didn't find anyone to get huffy about, and we came home and she had her usual morning nap.

Then around mid-day, it was time for me to walk Maddie.  She was happy to see me, although I had to call her - she must have been upstairs snoozing.  She was nice and warm when she came downstairs.

We did about a one mile walk.  Lots of sniffing, and some bird feathers which she was tempted to sample.  I asked her not to, though, and she listened.  We also passed a half-eaten Pop-Tart which she didn't even notice.

When we got back to her house, she had her snack, and then she got on her "bridge" with her toy.  Apparently, she's not much of a chewer:

This toy looks brand new!

 Tomorrow will be another two dog day - looking forward to the warmer temps!

Mocha and the Blustery Day

What a blustery day!  Mocha and I didn't go for our walk until 9:00!  That is late for us.  As soon as we got outside, Mocha headed north - and we usually go the other way.  I think she wanted to go toward the wind - probably because lots of good and interesting smells were coming from that direction.

We passed lots of downed trashcans, and saw a dog headed down a nearby street, but nothing else was going on.  When we got home, Mocha went back to bed, and I wrapped her up - she looks like a burrito:

Yes, a dog is in there.

As for me, I have been walking quite a lot.  I just did a streak of 5 days in a row, and today I'm going to take a rest day.  I did lift weights today.  My knees have been achy quite a lot, but I'm going to keep walking and maybe they'll calm down soon.  I did ice them a couple times last week.

Glad to get back to the blog - Happy 2017!
