Always on a Sunday

Happy, Happy Sunday. we started off nice and early in order to miss the Sunday crowds. We saw Brody a Black Lab in the parking lot but we walked in different directions. We walked all the way to the beach before we saw another dog or person. What we did see was tons of what Hanna had left behind. There were all sorts of leaves everywhere and puddles galore. I do enjoy a little puddle water while traveling in the park so I do not mind that even a little bit. Shortly before the beach we ran int o Brody again. We were chasing a ball together when my buddy Cody the Rhodesian Ridgeback without the ridge showed up. He did not try and grab me by the hips and dance much at all. The three of us immediately started running and dog playing. Soon, Abby the Black Lab joined us and there were wide open mouths, rolling, jumping, hip checking and running galore. HOORAY for being a dog.

Abby and her peeps were headed in the other direction so Cody, Brody and I, Merody (just for today) took off toward the river. The river is so high and so fast because of all the rain. If you stayed right close to the shore it was ok because that tree that is hanging on by its roots sort of slows the water down right there. I had a blast but even at the shore line the water went over my back a little. I do not like that at all. Anyway, the peeps let us play there for a long time. I had fun running back and forth on the shore with Brody and Cody.

Hey, I want to be sure to tell you guys something really important about eating dead things and other things that might seem so good. Cody ate something last week and got very, very sick. He was in the hospital on IV's and stuff for a day and a half. The Vet said he ate something that poisoned him. The Vet said some mushrooms are poisonous and dead rodents sometime and bunches of other things.

First of all I am glad Cody is OK. There is one thing that makes me a little curious. The dead rodent thing. Now, do you think that dead rodents could really be poisonous? I am wondering if the Vet is bowing down to some special interest groups. I think maybe some powerful mouse lobby is getting the Vet to put this propaganda out there. What do you think? Just a thought.

Anyway, I am wet, muddy, tired and happy.

Merlin or Merody for today~
