Back to reality...

Since vacation is long since over, I suppose it's time to return to reality...















Sable has returned to her weekly doggy daycare sessions and has found a renewed and increasing love for eating/ripping grass out of the ground. This also includes grass clippings, mud clumps and pine cones. I suppose I wouldn't mind too much about her eating habits if it didn't mean that the lawn was getting destroyed and that Sable now wakes us up with immense hacking and dry-heaving. I know, I know... sorry for the vivid detail... as if you really wanted to know. Either way... it's yet another thing we need to correct.


On a bright note... Sable is very good (at our house at least) at letting us know she needs/wants outside. This is both good and bad. It's nice that she will now bark at the door rather than wait ten seconds and proceed to squat, but when she thinks it's ok to bark to go outside and then bark to get back inside every ten minutes it gets a little annoying to say the least. Enough of the complaints though... she's progressing! Woo!



Now that summer is here and in full swing... Sable is getting pretty good at biking with me. I'm not quite good enough with my rollerblading to try blading with Sable, but maybe we'll get to it eventually. So far we've done lots of walks and and bike rides. Since Sable now knows how to swim (thanks to the Alaska trip), we've been able to take advantage of the river on our exploration of the river valley. The summer has been relaxed thus far... but we're looking forward to things to come.



So... welcome summer, enjoy the pictures!
