...about the deer. Krypto still barks at ours when they are in the yard or on the road.

I'm glad that he's been feeling calmer vs. anxious.

That sounds like a great drive and time with Boy and Ydgd!

Do you have the cold cut sandwiches? Both of my guys used to, with me being the odd-guy-out. I would have a hot sandwich, like a pastrami or meatball sandwich. I'm a sucker for meatball sandwiches. I understand that they have changed some of the food, so I tell myself that I'm not missing anything, lol!

I'm surprised that there were so few people at Sonic. It's definitely been ice cream weather.

Did Boy's dog do well in Sonic? How large of a dog is he/she? Can they do any mitigation of balance/walking, or are they strictly emotional support?

How nice that you found a home for the dog food! I was stuck with a bag for a while that Krypto couldn't have. Frankie couldn't have it, either, and the shelters not only do not take food that you've opened, but now they are leaning toward donations of $'s, and they buy their own food. I can understand it to a degree, but I hated wasting a large bag of food. Luckily, Hira arrived. She could, and did, eat it; hooray!

It took me a long while to connect myself as a senior. I don't know why...maybe because I don't feel like one? These days, though, I look for senior discounts where they are offered.

Doesn't an extra clean house feel good? It's difficult to achieve, too. First it's rainy and muddy, then it's hot...sheesh!

There's nothing like peaceful sleep! :-)

Thank you, and you guys as well! Have a safe holiday.
