bone, ball and bark

Today was a super Monday.

Early this morning, Kane and I walked to the vet (about 25 minutes from home to there) for Kane's third (of four) Pentosan injection for his arthritis. Beforehand, Kane stepped on the scales and weighed in at 38.6 kg (85.1 lb). Kane is now no longer on a diet, although I suspect not having any chicken wings for a week (with one cup of canine dry food instead, or the three days of turkey necks), and skipping the extra cup of dry food for dinner after the fresh food now and again may be contributing factors. Rather than vary the fresh and healthy food he is eating, Kane can have bigger portions, or more additional dry food, and treats of course.

Anyway, at the vet we saw a little dog who was not friendly at all, so the person carried him/her. After the vet visit, we walked to the hardware store. It's a nice open space away from the road and Kane enjoys those sorts of unleashed walks - freedom walks.

After the hardware store, we walked home via Macquarie oval and called in to visit Jack and his new house mate Tippy, a Chihuahua, through their gate. From there, we called by Jake's place. As Kane could not visit (Sue was sleeping following a late shift at the hospital), we invited Jake to come back with us.





Our outing took nearly two hours - Kane's quality time with me, while Jazz was left at home on the deck. Jake's visit was a lot of fun. Kane just wanted to have a rest after such a long walk, so Jack and Jazz chased each other in the backyard. Jazz was still possessive of her bone, while Jake found a ball and wanted to play.



After a few hours of play and rest, Jake's person Sue came over to collect him. I spent the rest of the afternoon moving furniture around in the living/lounge room.

Later this afternoon, we went on another walk (moreso for Jazz and for more carrots). As we walked out the door, Kane spotted somebody walking past so he barked, then Jazz barked. Kane has been exerting his territorial warning bark of late.

We walked to the shops via the woods and then home via the alleys.
