To kiss that bullet clean

We were walking; and Spike spotted a stick on the ground and decided to play with it. This happens a thousand times a day. It was a small one; about pencil-width and twice as long. He pounced on it, bounced up and down and chomped it into pieces. So far, so normal

that's happened to charlie before!

last night, i had to pick a reed to protect us from the geese (i just walked waving it in front of me and they got the hell away), but afterward, maggie got to chomp on it. whatever she did ended up making her tongue bleed (she didn't notice). i think they think it's worth the risk.

happy early birthday to spike! are you doing anything special for him?

...I don't know. He'll be six. It's brought on a very keen awareness of the fact that he won't actually live forever. At the moment I can't think about it without crying, and I honestly can't dredge up any urge to celebrate the occasion.

But he does have a new tuggy and I'll certainly be loving him and playing ball with him a lot.

Thank you :)

[lizblackdog]
