Early morning and the laundry pile.
10:15 p.m.
Dusty had a boring morning and a fun afternoon, which seems to be our pattern on weekdays. In the morning, I ran errands while she stayed in her crate. In the afternoon, we went to High Park and then played in the Small Dog Park.
It's the season of 'green stuff' in High Park, and I'm not just talking about leaves. There are these plants that produce little green seeds that stick to silky puppy hair. Today, I had to keep Dusty on leash until we got to the woods because the first time she chased a chipmunk through the grass, she returned literally covered in these little green things.
Her entire face was covered - pretty funny and too bad I didn't have my camera. It took me 10 minutes to pick them off though, so it's not something I would want to re-experience just for the sake of a photo.
