Yesterday was a good day. At noon, I left work and went down the the RAL (Richmond Animal League), because our adoption of Helen, a 2-3 year old black lab mix, was complete. She really is a great dog - she has just the right amount of energy for our family - and she is very smart and very obedient. Plus, she likes Bilbo, our 2 1/2 year old lump of a beagle . She had him out playing in the yard yesterday - something I don't think he has ever done.
So, we got home, and got her accustomed to the house. The kids took her on at least 3 walks in the early afternoon that I know of, before the afternoon activities begain - flute, ballet, trumpet, shopping for stuff for Helen so she would feel at home, then a cookout for dinner.
Nancy has done a great job so far in reclaiming our porch. We sat out there last night and ate. It was nice having the family together.
I am on a pretty serious diet and try to avoid a big dinner, so I ate carrots and a veggie medley, but when Rut left a bite or two of his burger, I had to eat a little. It was SO GOOD.
This morning I woke up at 5, and after a little play on the computer, took the dogs for a nice walk. Helen pulls a little too much for a 69 lb dog, but not so bad that I was dragged all over. The one thing we do need is a tandem leash, that holds both dogs together on one leash. They tended to drift around, one pulling this way, the other pulling that, and it hurt my pace on the walk.
Other than that, good day.
