Hi Everyone
I didn't go to the vet as it was raining here and Astrid is just no good 
working in the rain. She just tries to find the closest entrance to shelter 
in and takes wrong turns. I visited my folks Sunday and they left the back 
door open and she got to the compost heap - where all the rotting vegetable 
peals ect can be found and in her eyes it's a dog's delight. Her stomach is 
fine now and I gave her her regular dog cubes for supper last night and 
breakfast without ill effects.

She does deserve some merit points for her walk today. She's so inquisitive 
and I struggle to get her to concentrate on her work. When she tried to veer 
from the path today I stopped and refused to walk with her as I was sure she 
was fooling around again! A very kind and friendly lady who was taking a 
walk with her baby told me that I was actually standing close to a whole! 
Fortunately I didn't try walking where I thought we should go... So this 
once, Astrid was right. If she could just keep working like this I'd be a 
satisfied customer and more willing to spend my hard earned money on her.

Hope everyone gets some sleep on the other side of the world - it's 7:30 am 
here and time for my cup of tea and the workday to start.

Cheers
Coco

Hey Coco,

I can relate to what you're saying here.

When I was in Graduate School, umpteen years ago, I used to pull
all-nighters and then turn right around and do my Graduate seminars
and teach my classes. Hoo wee! Now, I lose my sleep for one night and
I'm a goner.

I'm glad that Astrid's stomach is a little better today. Rice? Those
days are all too familiar, even though it's been six years. I used
dogs for thirty years, and, I suppose that's why it seems like yesterday.
