[Today’s run: 2 miles with the dog]<\/p>\n

Today’s picture is a section of our yard.<\/p>\n

I have been very happy that this dog is not a digger.\u00a0 He did a little bit of that but kind of outgrew it, or something.\u00a0 He likes to chew things.\u00a0 And the wife buys him stuffed animals and such to chew up.<\/p>\n

I know very well that those people at the garage sales are thinking, “Such a nice older couple.\u00a0 I’ll bet they are buying that stuffed bunny\/bear\/whatever\u00a0 to give to their grandchild.”\u00a0 Hah!\u00a0 How swiftly their velveteen doom does fall.\u00a0 After a good hour of fun we pick up the remains in the living room and throw it away.<\/p>\n

Sometime later, these fluffy things grow in the grass in our yard.\u00a0 Some are little hunks of blue or green plastic.\u00a0 Some are pillow stuffing.\u00a0 One looks like an ear.<\/p>\n

I should also say: the dog does not take his chew-toys out into the yard.\u00a0 So these things must have alternative transport.<\/p>\n

Hmm.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what happens to the rest of the dog’s business.\u00a0 It seems to melt away in the rain (for which I am grateful), as opposed to our experience in Colorado where things became petrified.<\/p>\n
