A Close Call

I took Sawyer on a very brief car ride around the neighborhood, really nothing more than an excuse to park my car for the night. A large racoon ran across the road, bringing me to a stop. The racoon went no further than the tree on the curb, climbed up about four feet - car window height - and just casually made eye contact with Sawyer.

Who was in the back seat. 

Alone. 

With the window rolled most of the way down.

These thoughts ran through my head in order, and I instantly lunged for his leash, catching him more than halfway out the window.

Serves me right for taking him with me. 

Memorial Day 2025

This dog certainly feels the day was relaxed and peaceful.

It was a very chill Memorial Day for me and Lisa too. As Junie's sleepover wound down, we slept in until late in the morning.  After I had a serious but loving online convo with YaYa, Lu came home from her weekend trip to meet her boyfriend's Mom. She and her BF chatted about it with Lisa and I for awhile before they left for the night. 

Lisa and I then picked up my MIL and ran some errands. I took some window screens into the hardware store to replace them; bought some drill bits from Harbor Freight; Lisa returned and replaced sandals; we picked up a new wax warmer from Marketplace; and stopped at Culvers for a scoop of the flavor of the day. 

The MIL stayed for dinner while Smiley installed new window blinds in the dining room.  JJ stopped by to visit Lisa, and after she left we watched an episode of Dateline.

A very nice, quiet day for us all. 

Poor Behavior

THIS idiot interpreted a one minute bathroom break of mine on Saturday night as express permission to drag a pizza and a box of donuts onto the floor.

 

I was not pleased.
