Wednesday

Spike and I walked 2 miles this morning, and this afternoon he had his first taste of frappichino - a few drops of Starbucks' 1/2 off special - after a 2 mile walk to meet W at the local Starbucks. Of course, we had to walk home after that, so his little legs are churning out the miles. His legs AND mine.

Picked up a carrier bag for airline and long trips (SturdiBag) and an agility kit (for fun - he's so lively and easily bored that we might try some agility). Balancing out purchases with sales on Craigslist over the past days - got rid of the PuppyPotty and some Wee Pads since he refused them. He has his mind made up of where to "go". Funny boy.

Jennifer, an old friend I haven't seen for 10 years, dropped by at noon. She's a single gal, an architect, and she fell in love with Spike on the spot. If she's in the area this summer, she'll watch him while we're on vacation. Her family had dogs while she was growing up. Spike hopped onto her lap and lounged while she stroked him and talked for a half hour. "What a fabulous, perfect dog!" she kept saying as he snuggled on her lap.
