I woke up to a Summer alarm shortly after daybreak. I promised a beach adventure this morning and a promise is a promise.
She waited for me to brew a cup of coffee, brought me a hat, and we hit the road.
It has been at least a week since our last beach adventure.
Summer was excited.
She wonders if she can let it all hang out.
I laughed.
We rolled the windows down and sang along with Joy to the World to set the mood.
We're back!
Good morning, Mastodon.

My bestie got me this bookmark of my dog for my birthday and I love it! I don't have the name of the artist but one of her friends drew it and I will always treasure things made by human hands 🧡💙
I told Summer that we have to get a move on.
Lots to do to prepare for a few days without running water.
Summer drinks lots of water everyday so she gets the urgency of this moment.
She did remind me how lucky we are to be able to fix the problem and move on.
Right after breakfast I ran to the store to buy gallons of drinking water. It pains me to buy water in plastic jugs but my options are somewhat limited. I don't want to get water from any of our neighbors because four of our wells are in close proximity. I am hoping they all test their water too. All I can do is make them aware of our situation.
Summer says she wants to get a quick nap before she takes on the rest of the day.
First things first.
Good morning, Mastodon.

The lake had no comment. The beagle had several.

Summer started pestering me early.
She was ready to go to work.
Sunshine is wasting.
Time to get a move on.
By the time she got to her argument that we were lollygagging the day away I took a last swig of coffee and went to get some gloves and a rake.
Summer is right that the greenwaste wasn't going to load itself into the truck.
About half way through the job she decides it's break time. As a card carrying member of the powerful Very Good Dog Union she says a treat and drink of cool water is in order.
Who can argue with that?
I think I need to find out if there is a grandma union out there somewhere.
Good morning Mastodon.

Summer says life can't be all work and no play.
She brought me the purple Frisbee.
What's a grandma supposed to do?
Throw the Frisbee.
Of course.

Happy Tuesday, have a blep
A happy Bagel on his way!
Friendliest #dog ever
My doctor: You've been _less_ active since having a dog??
The dog, after 1.5h of "wanna go for a walk?":

Today’s supervisor hopes your workweek is off to a good start.
After a rough day yesterday I am on my way to recovery. Big relief for all of us. Summer knows I'm well enough that she can play lap dog again.
Taking it easy today but happy to be headed the right direction.
Summer says it is a good morning Mastodon!

Summer really needs her daily run so I've been getting up at daybreak to hit the trail. I figure her needs are just as important as ours. She benefits from this three mile, or so, adventure in so many ways. Her pal is feeling low energy right now so wearing her out early makes for a relaxed rest of the day.
We are hoping for enough sunshine to give our garden a boost. Summer says Flower Power! Might be overly optimistic.
The trail was quiet.
Summer is literally the picture of happiness.
I didn't let her drive again but she never gives up asking.
Who knows some day maybe?
Good morning, Mastodon.

Lots of happy Summer photos for those who enjoy the company of happy dogs.
I confess that I am one of those people.
Summer's biggest fan.

…just a perfect day
problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own, it's such fun
just a perfect day
you make me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
someone good
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
You're going to reap just what you sow You're going to reap just what you sow You're going to reap just what you sow You're going to reap just what you sow
Well, it wasn't really expected... But we've got a dog, now!
Human Dad took me to the beach for a cooling paddle in the sea, have now found a lovely spot to dry the undercarriage and keep my snoot shaded. Enjoy the weekend everyone. #dogsofmastodon #dogs #dog
