finding Liam

We had two good walks today. The weather is also warming up so it was a nice day to be out.

This morning Kane was lying on the kitchen floor - he likes being there when I prepare food. He stayed there while I was on the couch watching something on the laptop. Suddenly, Kane started barking. He must have thought I had disappeared.

Our first walk was in the early afternoon to the shops. We walked the short way to the shops and after my grocery shopping we walked around the outside of the centre. We saw our next door neighbours at a cafe having coffee so stopped for a quick hello.

On the way home, we started from the end of the green way, but then Kane decided to turn right into an alley so we walked back that way. Sometimes I let Kane decide the route.



On our late afternoon walk, we went to Macquarie oval, but nobody was there, so we did the circuit back home. Outside Jake's house we saw Jimmy the Border Collie puppy coming up from a path, so we said hello. They had just returned from Cook oval, so we started walking that way.

A strange dog then crossed the road by himself to come over. He was very timid and when kane wagged his tail, he became playful. We crossed the road to the park nearby and I asked two girls if he was their dog. They said, no so I checked his tag and phoned the number. Liam is a Staffordshire Terrier Red Heeler (cattle dog) cross and wanted to play with Kane. Anyway, his person came to take him home. We didn't continue on to Cook oval as it started getting dark.
