Moss does not grow under my mothers feet. Therefore we had a very busy day and I have not had a moment to sit and blog yet. It is late and so I will give you the abbreviated version of my day.
Up at 7:15made coffee cake
8:00 AM out to Garage sales (remember it is a family illness)
first garage sale not so much of a find Only card making paper(a find for me)
second garage sale a great find for my mother who is a great grandmother of two.We took Beeker with us on this short trip. He loves to go in the car, and he sits patiently as we come and go. At the second garage sale, I parked across the street from the sale house. The owners of the home where I parked let their American Staffordshire Terrier out in the front yard. The dog just sat and Beeks went ballistic in the car. When I heard him barking I went back to the car and moved it two houses up so that Beeks couldn't see the dog any longer. He stopped barking and I could return to the garage sale.
9:00-9:30 Back home for breakfast of coffee cake, dishes and walk about in the yard

11:15 Blog Time
It has been a great day and we are truly tired. Beeks ran around the yard and was happy to run and play with all of the neighbor kids. The youngest kept giving Beeks sticks, she figured out that Beeks likes to jump for them and then sits and chews them so she kept giving him small sticks and Beeks kept taking them and sitting and eating them. I think they were bonding. It was beautiful watching them defining a friendhsip that was developed on their own terms. They both were happy with the gifts that were just between them. They were learning trust between species at the most basic level. Awesome! Max spent a large amount of time off leash in the yard with Brad. Beeks was in the house by now, exhausted and needing some rest. Max loved going where ever Brad went in the yard and stayed by his side like a faithful hound should.
