I accompanied Loud to her eye appointment and the doctor said that I am , βsuch a good girl with the kindest eyesβ which makes it official because eye doctors know about these things.
I spent time hiking in the woods and I went on the lake in my water carriage, which is my second favourite place to be⦠my first is in front of a full food bowl.
I got to spend a week with one of my lovely sitters. It was a heat wave so she took me to places that had something called βair conditioningβ. We walked around the mall, local shops, and a hotel lounge. My sitter said my loose leash walking was so good she forgot I was even there. I enjoyed being in the air conditioning but also, I donβt mind the heat. I always find the sunny spots even when it 36Β°C.
One thing I need to keep working on is my calming skills when people are clapping. My sitter took me to a jazz concert and I got kind of excited when the hoomans clapped but after a while I settled in. I guess I kinda thought they were clapping for me and that I should stand up and acknowledge it. Oops.
And finally but most impawtantly, I spent time with Loud and Tall taking a paws to pay my respects to the First Nations and Indigenous peoples who have suffered great loss.
Until again,
