Well, that was strange...

My last post didn’t show up on Blogger until this morning, even though I posted it Friday night. Wonder why it does that sometimes?

B and I went walking with our friends yesterday, and he did beautifully with the anti-inflammatory. He was so much perkier and kept up great…he was even in the lead for much of the walk (although I did notice he started limping very slightly toward the end after about an hour). Even my friend Pam noticed how much better he was doing. I’m very relieved…our long walks have always been one of our favorite things to do, and it helps keep both of us in shape. I forgot to mention in my last post that on the vet’s scale, he had gained a pound since I had taken him about 5 months ago for his regular check up. That’s a lot of weight on a small dog, and I know it’s because I’d been afraid to walk him.

The weather has been steadily improving since mid-week when it was very rainy, and it's supposed to be nice through next weekend. Not that I’m complaining about the rain...it had been so dry with all the heat and lack of moisture over the last few months and we in the PNW really miss our rain when we go too long without it (at least I do). The reason I’d like it to be nice is we’ll have visitors from California Tuesday night through next Sunday, and it’s always more fun if the weather cooperates.

The friends who will be visiting are from San Francisco…hub’s old friend and his daughter L…I wrote about them when we were on our car trip in May. Hub’s friend comes in late Tuesday and L comes in Friday afternoon (she arrives soon after I take my airplane ride). I always eat and drink way too much whenever we’re together, but I’m not going to worry about it too much. If I gain a few pounds, I always seem to go back down within a few weeks. And I know L likes to exercise, so maybe I’ll take her with us when B and I go for our walk on Saturday.

Well, I have a few chores to take care of to get ready for company so I better get busy.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!
