About a month ago I went up to the hill to take Arlo and Reily for a walk in the woods with me. I love our system of trails out there, and I knew that the best part of fall was coming to an end, and wanted to enjoy it while I could. It turns out Reily is getting pretty old....he was limping a bit before we got back. But as always, him and Arlo had a great time together- and it was a beautiful day!! I always feel so great after a walk in the woods. It is my best therapy! And walking with dogs I think is my favorite...I can just think and relax, but I'm not completely alone either- and they can be rather entertaining!
Now it is the day before Thanksgiving, and Katie, Matt and the kids are here! I am headed to Winona in a bit, with Arlo to go see them. We will see how Arlo does with mom's new kitten- a little orange one, that is very sweet and cuddly. Turns out that it is a girl, too! I miss my Kunguk. Cat Cat- (named by Jim) the little cat that wandered in off the cornfield not long after Kunguk disappeared, has grown and is starting to get a bit fat. He eats obsessively, since he was pretty starved when we found him. Him and Arlo are the best of friends. They even play with toys together...it is rather odd. Arlo hardly knows how to be around other cats though, as Cat Cat just lets him do whatever he wants to him and loves him unconditionally. I wish Arlo would learn that this is the exception and not the norm.
But- off to better things today!! I can't wait to play with my niece and nephew!! It has only been about 2 1/2 weeks since I have seen them- but I have missed them!!
