What a wonderful day!

Saturday:
Awoke at 5:00 AM
Way too early for most but not my trusty sidekick and four legged friend, Ms. Cinder "Shiver Me Timbers" Alabanza.
A few good licks in he face and yuk, I am awake.
We pad around the house for a while and it feels oddly strange
That's because we are house sitting in Tuc son , Az.
Out before the Sun gets too high in the sky.
I sip some green tea that rest in my cup which is covered now by my small note pad
What did I think was going to drop into it, humm?
Don't really know, just seemed like a good idea at the moment.
Get Cinders back pack, yes back pack, well actually she has a panier like set up with two packs one on either side together by a webbing that spans her back
Check to make sure she a water, lunge line, baseball, tennis ball, and most importantly a blue disposable biodegradable bag for he poo, yup she will poo that's guaranteed
into the car
Opps almost forgot the block buster video that was to be returned last night
now we are off
Roads are quite, but then this is Tuc son
Drop of the vid
Now for the fun
6:06 Am and we enter the park
It is so new that the baseball fields (there are two) look like models in an architects office, simply pristine.
Cinder and I enter the field and i assure that both gates close behind us
Now we have a full sized baseball field to our selves
Enclosed now, I remove her lead and replace it with her lunge line
Off she goes in a flash
how beautiful it is to watch her run, fast , wel museled, and her white flash on hr paws and chest undulate as she goes in a blur.
She returns and I retire one of her balls form her back pack
I toss it high and far and she runs to retrieve it
Over and over and now she is tired
So we begin our training.
Sit Cinder, then I walk far away, then out of site and behind her s she dutifully wait s for my command. Good girl cinder, that's a good girl
A man and his dog on a early Saturday morning.
She goes thru her training paces and I am entirely Impressed by her attention and animal beauty.
I wish I had bought treats to reward her performance
I guess that will be on the checklist fr the next time.
The day begins well. Life is good!
