Weekend in the country

Spent the weekend visiting friends up near ‘B’. It’s nice to get away to the country. A relaxing time, a little fishing. Watch the animals.
Mr. and Mrs. B. have seven acres and five horses; three dogs and several cats. The fun was watching their two new puppies and Tommy interact. There was the usual sniffing of butts and licking wrong places. The fun thing was the puppies. There are both about a year old. One is your basic Lab, the other smaller, mixed breed. There were a few barks and snarls, then things settled down with Tommy in charge. The one older dog knows Tommy and they already knew how to get along.

The puppies did get a little wild, as puppies do. After a while, Tommy would want to go in. A little rumpus is okay and then it’s time to settle down.

Fishing on the lake wasn’t very good. Just a few nibbles. But the next morning, we took three of the horses to the neighbors' property next door. They walked us down to a good sized pond and through handfuls of dog chow in. And tons of catfish, some quite large, came up to feed. We could have just dipped in a net and gotten lunch and dinner!
Next time we come up, I’ll catch dinner in the pond!


A good weekend. Quiet, nice and quiet.
