Handing out supper for my house pets isn’t easy. Car-E gets especially excited.
To stop him from climbing up my leg, Car-E gets his food first.
He eats fast and if I didn’t lock him up Car-E would soon be eating any other food he could get to, even mine.
I also separate Othello and Cruella. That way I know who is eating what and how much.
Feeding time is just another adventure at my house.

When I was at Fleet Farm last week, I found a large, cumfy bed for Sunny. The best part, it was on sale.
I brought it home without thought where it would go. It was large, so I just dropped on the kitchen floor. Immediately it became a bed for…
Car-E
Once Car-E came bounding onto the bed. He bounced like he was on an air mattress and flipped over. He took it all in stride and relaxed on his back.
Othello also took a turn on the pet bed. That black cat is ancient but he knows a good thing when he finds it too.
Thank goodness, Sunny isn’t interested in the bed.

Many of recent walks were down the road because the grass was dew-covered.
Today the farm lane was dry and Sunny decided that’s where we were heading.
He was on the lookout for deer as we saw one peek out of the corn one day this week.
No luck on the deer hunt.
But cranes flew overhead.
A nice early morning walk.

I’m sure Sunny isn’t happy when the world is hot and humid. He has a lot of hair.
Sunny started shedding in January. He took a break after that, but since spring, he has shed and shed and shed.
I used the bucket to pick up his hair. I know he will come inside and still leave some fur behind in the house, no matter how much I brush him.
I still love him.
Sunny doesn’t shed about 2 months a year. I still would have rescued him 10+ years ago even if I knew he shed like this, but others may think twice about living with such a hairy dog–one thing to consider before bringing a dog home.

I just realized I hadn’t blogged today.
After taking Sunny for a little walk I thought I’d take his photo next to the corn.
The corn is growing and starting to tassel, but it still has a long way to go.
When I was a kid we cousins used to play hide-n-seek in a neighbor’s cornfield. We never got lost, but younger children have been known to get lost in a cornfield.
Once, I thought we lost our little Becky in the corn. Luckily, she knew to walk around the tall corn to get to the neighbors, but she sure scared me when she disappeared that day.
The neighbors weren’t home so one one could tell us our two-year-old had gone to play in their sandbox.
I wanted to tether her to me after that. She sure was one slippery child, also getting lost in the Museum of Science and Industry when she was five. I didn’t let go of her hand after we found her that day.
I let my mind wander today. See what happens when I don’t plan what to write in my blog.
