Today was another day dedicated to house hunting. I went through the latest list of possibles from the realtor. After eliminating some based on the online information I had a list of 7 candidates that were in the general area. I drove to all 7. I eliminated 6 based on looking at them. As before there are just some things that don't show up in online descriptions like crummy lot, noisy streets, no place for an RV, etc. One house is a "maybe". Nice lot, but at the end of a 3 mile dead end road.
After that it was time to take the dog swimming. She hasn't had much exercise in the last couple of days and she's getting a little too hyper. The river was about 18" higher than I've ever seen it. It also had a much faster current than I've ever seen. It was muddy, not the crystal clear that I am used to. Lucy didn't mind. She did water retrieves for over an hour. She would have gone longer, but I was afraid that she might get too tired to buck the current.
After swimming I took her on a little hike. I ran across an info center that I didn't know existed. There were two bored volunteers there and I talked to them for about half an hour. Then I took Lucy on a nature trail that started at the center. After about a quarter mile of winding through the trees we came to a rather large clearing. She was getting frisky and there was no one around. So I let her off lead and did some land retrieves. After about a dozen (not many for her), she decided that that was enough. We walked back to the truck. As soon as she got in the truck, she laid down and went to sleep.
When we got home she ate dinner and then went to sleep. She's been that way all evening. That's a lot different than the last two evenings when she's been jumping up to go out anytime I made a move.
