June 12, 2021 - Learning every day

 

Elkie is a creature on a learning path - goal 30 commands by turn in February 2022 and having the temperment to 'serve'. 

Now, in many ways I am also on a learning path - with the prime goal of living an intentional life of strength, health and positivity. As for the temperment to serve...well, I have been doing that since 2004 when I became a non-profit fundraiser. No reason to stop now. 


Elkie aced the 'under', 'down', 'stay' commands this morning...followed by 'here'.

    Gosh, it's time for Henry to get at least a basic obedience "refresher"! He certainly knows his commands but he too often chooses to ignore 'em!!

Well, in case you are still on the fence, climate change is real and happening all around us at a frightening pace. This never happens in San Diego, CA...and this is the 3rd since early September and I might add the most violent.  Perspective is from the bay looking toward the east (which I live). Many fires ignited, including a house where a tree was struck and a whole grove of palms near Mt. Helix in the east. On a lighter note, before the storm Elkie & I got in a walk 'on the wild side' of Scripps Ranch.  The neighborhood has really gone downhill or should I say "Hill House". And while the temps were in the 80s, and the sky clear "where were the little kiddos at lunch time?" Wishing all a safe, sane and happy season...don't forget to stop and smell the flowers.

Elkie turned 10 months on Thursday. She is my walking buddy and returns tonight for the next week. Pretty warm in San Diego right now, so I will need to walk early in the AM (not my usual thing) and after dark (which I have been doing already).  Her sister in Ohio, Evey just came into heat...oh boy. That can really but a cramp in the walking & socializing routine. Evey is not a 'happy camper'. So will Elkie soon follow? I hope not, but when it happens, it happens. Our little girl is growing up...here she is today at church with Vickie, her other Mom. Remembering when.... Me, in 10 months...how much have I changed? Easily 10 pounds heavier.
