A good run

I haven't posted anything since Saturday. There's been a lot going on but nothing particularly blog worthy. Marvel went back home on Monday and she was very, very happy to see her owner once again. Woody is still with us but he's on a two day sleepover with another foster home, the folks who adopted SweetTart (now called Betty White) from us back in February. He's reportedly getting along well there and is learning manners from Miss White. That's exactly what he needs. 

On Saturday I took a load of crates and other dog stuff to a new rescue group in Greene County called Rad Ranch Rescue. It's amazing how much of that stuff I've accumulated over the years. They seemed glad to have it. 

Bailey had some new adventures on Sunday, including a visit to a flea market, a brewery, and a stop to visit Clay's mother at The Colonnades, which included an elevator ride and a large stuffed kangaroo. 

"Stuff" continues to move out of our house, via eBay and Facebook Marketplace, and today Clay took a load of stuff to Circa in Charlottesville. My physical therapy continues apace; next week will be six weeks since the surgery and I can officially give up wearing the sling. 

Rainy days have been a drag. Yesterday Bailey and I needed to get out so we went up to Pleasant Grove and did the two mile walk on the road. Today we did a couple of short walks out to the pasture where I scattered the ashes of five more dogs, including Max and Theo. I combined their cremains and scattered them together in a walk down the hill where they ran countless times as I threw the ball for Theo. Theo pursued the ball and always got it, Max would just run with Theo. It was an easy way to give those boys a good run and, I thought, a fitting place for their remains. Both Theo and Max had many good runs out there and they had a good run at life here I think. Bailey had a good run out there today as well.
