Day 128

Today was why we live in Texas.  It was sunny and near 80.

I spent the morning reading the Sunday paper and waiting for it to warm up.  A little before noon it was warm enough to go to Circle C.

For the first time that I remember the small parking lot out front was completely full.  We were lucky and got a parking spot by the play area.  So I took Lucy from there across the creek and over to Escarpment.  She had her normal fun checking out every place that there might be a mouse.  When we got to the garbage cans there were a lot of people playing frisbee.  So we continued on to the creek.

The water is down now, probably too shallow to swim.  Lucy just walked into it belly deep and drank.  She didn't act like she wanted to do retrieves at all.  We continued around.  I was really proud of her.  Some people were coming the other way.  They had three dogs on leads and obviously didn't want them near Lucy.  Of course Lucy wanted to meet and greet.  I told her to "leave it" and she left them alone.  One of the owners complimented me on her training.  I told Lucy she was a very good dog.

When we finished the walk I went over and bought lunch at the concession again.  I wanted to support them.  I watched the games for a short time.  It was younger girls and not very interesting.  So I went home about 1.

I spent the next hour and a half washing the outside of the trailer.  It was nice and warm for the job.  Lucy was really bored watching me.  After I was done I went inside to get something to dring and some magazines.  Lucy jumped right up on the couch.  I didn't let her stay.  We went outside.  Lucy laid around and tried to get me to go inside a couple of times.  She even decided to go explore for awhile.  When we did go in a couple of hours later she hit the couch and went to sleep immediately.

In the evening Ellen called and suggested that I call Andreas.  I talked to him and Theresa.  Apparently he's really having a hard time working with the business owner and superstar.  I told them both to hang in there, some change may be coming.
