Excited Lady at the gas pump


A CALMER LADY
Lady and I stopped at a gas station today on the way home from the dog park. After I bought the gas and got back into the car, I reached back to pet Lady. That's when she turned on me.

She started licking my neck and my face and the edge of my ear, over and over and over. A guy at the next pump over looked over and didn't bat an eye. He just went on and pumped gas.

She's licked me before, but never like that. She must have licked me for two minutes. I guess she was happy to go to the dog park; or to get gas.

 NOTE: Lady passed on Sept. 17, 2016, one of the worst days of my life. If she had lived for two more weeks, we would have had her 14 years.

Walking in the cemetery

HERE'S AN OLD PICTURE OF LADY AND ME AT THE CEMETERY LAKE.
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE TODAY; JUST ADD SNOW AND ICE.
I wish I had a camera today when Lady and I walked around the local cemetery. We couldn't walk in our neighborhood because of the ice still on our driveway and in our cul-de-sac. I drove us to Covington Park, but it was closed.

 So I tried the local cemetery.

 Most of the driving area was dry, although there were wet and even icy spots in the shade. I parked the van in the corner, and we stayed around the lake. It was drier up the hill, but it was easier for me to walk around the lake.

 We saw and heard two geese swimming and honking in the little lake, and Lady acted like she wanted to go swimming with them. Two more geese sailed in before we left. They came in hot, honking all the way, then spread their wings and sank gently into the water.

 Lady had plenty of new sniffs, and she marked a lot of territory.

 I wish we could have kept walking, but the walking (and maybe the cold) was hurting my back. So we just made one circuit of the lake and came home.
