We enjoyed a lovely crisp and sunny morning. Ruby was working me in that doggy way that translates to “can we go somewhere in the car and have fun?….can we…can we….pleeeeaaasse?

I took them to the Arsenal lands where we met up with my friend Ted. We walked through the big field, the one with the water tower, past the ponds, back through the woods and out to the main bike trail, then back into the woods and out into the field leading to the beach.

The dogs saw the water and nevermind that it is December, they wanted a dip. “Can we can we can we can we?” OK they don’t speak English but they left little doubt what they wanted. Neither dog went very deep and they didn’t stay in for long, but in they went. The two of them are sleeping now, content.
