Checking In

So, I'm told that it's officially been one month since my last post and something, anything, must have happened, if not to me, with Kasey, since then.  So here I am, checking in.

My friend is right.  There's been much going on.  Kasey and the Kitty are growing by leaps and bounds and they're doing a lot of leaping and bounding.  I'm truly grateful to have each one of them for the other, either one alone would have me in a rubber room.  Even Katie has joined in on the playtime on occasion.  Not for very long, but the puppy in her pops out every so often.

Being a glutton for punishment, or not very bright, or both ... I kept my friend Judi's dog for 2 weeks while she was on a cruise.  Actually, Foxy was extremely well behaved and she's cat friendly.  She's an easy dog to keep and she's very comfortable here.  Even so, a couple of times a week I'd take her home to spend part of the day in her own surroundings so she'd know she still had her own home.

We had our annual Animal Faire last weekend.  It benefits the local SPCA, for which Katie  I volunteer.  I took both dogs and their enclosure and we spent the day.  I worked the event taking photographs, Katie watched the action, and Kasey barked (yapped) at every large dog he saw - and there were plenty of them.  My apologies to those working around our area.  He doesn't carry on like that at home, but then he doesn't see that many other dogs, let alone the large ones.  We walked over to the TDI booth so I could get a group photo with Katie and the other therapy dogs and spent some time, which gave these two some much needed exercise and then it was back to their enclosure while I finished what I was doing.  When we got home, two dogs crashed and slept until well after their dinner time.  In fact, after their dinner and trip out to potty, they slept the night through.  Come to think of it, so did I.

This weekend is the chocolate & wine festival.  The "kids" get to stay home but I'll spend Saturday there and then we have some harvest and halloween events coming up.  The church boutique is the first weekend in November and then life returns to normal, whatever that is.  We'll be heading into the holidays and there'll still be things to do and places to go, but I won't have any responsibility for them, I can simply attend - or not.

I'll try to start posting regularly again and not wait for the nudge from my friend.  But then again, I kind of like the attention.
