finally, the big loop walk

The first night with two canines in the house was peaceful. Thankfully, Jazz sleeps through the entire night, just like Kane. The only time Kane has a restless night is if he is thirsty because his medication isn't working.

Early this morning, Margaret came around and I accompanied her to the local market to help her select prawns and scallops, which wasn't necessary in the end as there were too many customers. Afterwards, we all returned home including Momo. It was mayhem with Momo and Jazz playing chase me.



It was a cooler day today so we went on our big loop walk in the early afternoon - to Cook shops from the back way short cut, around the oval, then on through the woods and the the alleys home. Along the woods we detoured for a quick visit to Millhouse's place. It was a contrast walking Jazz on a very short and tight leash as she pulls. Kane is such a pleasure to walk with, and indeed this time was unleashed as usual - there is a level of trust between us. Strangely, the walk still took the usual 40 minutes.

This afternoon, I did some more gardening, cutting down some bamboo from the front yard.

Later in the afternoon, I left for a few hours going out to dinner at a former work colleague's house. I returned in the evening, with canine dinners served up 90 minutes later than usual. I've decided that it is easier to give Jazz her dinner first outside and close the door before giving Kane his dinner inside.
