Yesterday J took us out for breakfast, which was a nice treat. We went someplace we'd not been before, and were pleasantly surprised by both the reasonable price and the good food, including homemade strawberry jam. Afterward we went home and I had a shower, then L and I went over to the home to visit our friend. His face lit up when we opened the door, which is wonderful in many ways, not least of which is that it lets me know that he really does enjoy my visits and isn't thinking, "Jesus, here comes this woman again, why won't she leave. me. alone!!"
Afterward, I took L out to Trenton for the Pictou County Kennel Club show. We really enjoyed it. She liked watching the obedience trials, and going around and looking at all the dogs. It was the perfect environment for her to see the dogs, because although she's an animal lover she tends to be a little nervous around dogs. At the show, they were mostly in cages, or in the rings, so she could look at them and admire them without being nervous. The only dogs I have ever seen her really take to are my mother-in-law's dogs, and the greyhounds we saw at a greyhound association thing in the mall. That made up our minds, actually, that when we get a dog it will be a greyhound. She was actually lying down on the floor with the dog, hugging her and petting her. After she met the greyhound, I think she was having a difficult time deciding which she wanted more: one of the dogs, or a kitten. Maybe both.
I have a busy, and unexpected, week coming up. At the end of it we will be going to visit my parents for my father's birthday. He's turning 70, but doesn't want anyone to acknowledge the fact. So I'm blogging about it instead, because that's the kind of shit disturber I am.
