My Four Legged Friend: Another 5k For Our Memories

The last week I have been busy enjoying life with my husband and friends. We have been enjoying some cooler weather. It was highs in the 70's last week, and a couple of evenings we wore jackets and long pants to walk. It felt more like fall. We got some cold air out of Canada and some rain. It is now heating up again with highs around 90 and lots of humidity. Laney is so spoiled by the air conditioning and she has a short hair cut to keep her cool. She looks like she got a buzz cut. I can see her cute little face and big brown eyes.

Over the weekend my husband and I participated in the annual Subway 5k. We walked most of the way and jogged the last two tenths of a mile. My husband wanted to feel like we had run the whole distance, but our time tells the truth. I was feeling some muscle pain the last couple of days, as it has been awhile since we participated in any races. Even though we walk every evening I do not jog and believe me there are some different muscles involved. Oh well, I have survived and hopefully strengthened some new muscles. I told my husband not to let me slow him down during the race, but he insisted on staying with me. He said he enjoyed walking with me. We are looking forward to some more races.

My flowers are blooming and getting big thanks to our rainy summer and cooler temperatures. I noticed that every day there were some stems broken off my flowers and wondered what was going on. The other evening we caught a rabbit eating my flowers. It was so cute that I couldn't be upset. We watched it chew off a big stem of petunias and scamper off with it. I took a picture of thief in action. Laney has been on guard as she has seen the rabbit and was not too happy that it was on her turf. I don't think the rabbit has anything to worry about, as Laney is afraid of other animals. She hesitantly goes out after dark. I think she is worried she will encounter the rabbit. I have to laugh as she waits for my husband to go outside at night with her. She is so spoiled. I love you Laney!
