DISPATCHES 13 OCTOBER 2008  Gracie gets hot at Cavalier Fun Day on Oct. 12 To be a dog: I just about overloaded on adorableness at the Cavalier Fun Day on Sunday, sponsored by the Mid-Florida Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club. We took Gracie and Wally, where they got to try out some jumps and running through tunnels and eating treats and, of course, sniffing many, many other dogs. It was still pretty hot and humid, seeing how it's Florida and our fall weather doesn't really kick in till sometime in November. It's also been strangely tropical, with lots of squalls coming off the ocean for the past week, to the point where it's hard to find an hour or two to do anything outside. We were lucky on Sunday. I'm hoping for a break so that when I return to pottery class on Thursday, we can do some raku outdoors. Yay!  Wally won waggiest tail. OK, it's just a blur in the background here. But trust me. It's quite the plume. blog index |
