A better toy Beaver!

 

Now THIS looks like a beaver, Mom!

I could not resist, with beavers and bunnies on the brain, when I walked into Menard's this morning, in search of a chair to put out on the deck.

Looks like a chew toy to Ember!

I had to put the chair away shortly after I first put it out, because guess who could not keep her teeth off it.  She loves the beaver!

While I was out doing my errands, the phone chirped.  The plumber was ready to come out and fix what the inspector flagged.

I had time once I got home to take Ember for a short second walk up the block and back before he arrived, though.

Then I enticed her back into her den, plying her with peanut butter and whipped cream.  The plumber is now gone, and re-inspection is scheduled for Wednesday morning.  Always something, eh?

The moon wasn't quite set when Ember and I walked earlier on Monday morning.  The sun hadn't quite come up yet, either.  It was peaceful morning's walk, as summer progresses.  Days that are cool in the morning and warm but not unbearable in the afternoon are to be prized.

Tuesday morning also dawned cool and damp.  It promises to become steamy.  Ember had a nice long walk through the park and around the block, for 0.93 miles.  She showed off her good manners for other people a couple of times during the session, then did a bit of running in the back yard to complete her quota of "active" for the morning.  She fell asleep on the floor as I cooked my breakfast, and I left her there snoozing until about 8 a.m., when I lured her into her "den" so I could get ready and go have my own trainer workout.

Life is good.  Keep on Sparking!
