Heading Toward Normal

It was a fairly busy week, with a visit to the dermatologist, several afternoons at the condo where Lynn is replacing old lighting fixtures, and a few local expeditions with Charlie. I still can't walk very far without aching, but it’s getting better by the day. I've been having prescriptions and groceries delivered with a trial membership to Walmart+. That's a big help when you have back pain.

Charlie is going to tell you about our expedition yesterday, but first here is a picture of him that I edited using a filter called Technical in the BeCasso app.


Hello world from Charlie!

Here I am on the way to a new dog park in Mount Jackson. We had to wait for the rain to stop before we went. There was a lot of rain this week.


The dog park is grassy, and there is a water fountain. I met a little dog named Ponzi and his people. I showed Ponzi how to run fast.


Today we saw Lynn and her friend Barb and we walked in Edinburg Park, but it started raining. Mom drove back to the state park and talked to the ranger, but we didn’t stay because the rain was coming that way and the river was high at the bridge.


I hope we start having adventures every day like we used to. It is more fun to go to parks than it is to stay home or go to the vet.

  6. A very upbeat post from both of you...seems lots is happening there these days! And when Charlie gets to see and meet new dogs, you're there to capture them...well, we didn't see Ponzi though. River views made up for it.
