Monday, July 11th, 2016 — 12\u00b0C \/ 52\u00b0F – damp and grey outside @ 6:51 am in Atlantic Canada —<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Paris

Not the colour sky I remember, but this is striking. [ copied & pasted from twitter ]<\/p><\/div>I haven’t been to Paris in this life time. Many of the photos I see of Paris have either a grey sky, or are shot at night to show off the lights – This shot is interesting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

— 24\u00b0C \/ 75\u00b0F with the sun still bright in the sky — a lot fewer clouds than this morning — @ 8:06pm —<\/em><\/p>\n

— Walking the dog this evening. He was a lot more lively than he has been these last couple weeks. But we still had our “Flop & I ain’t goin nowhere!” moments.<\/p>\n

\"Cathi

Cathi and Jassper up the street.<\/p><\/div>\n

This is Jassper, taking one of his breaks during our exercise walk. I had to come back home to check on something and this is what I saw on my way back to them. They hadn’t gotten far.<\/p>\n

\"Cute

“Scamp” – This little guy is the same age as Jassper, and he barks his head off at Jassper whenever he sees him.<\/p><\/div>\n

Scamp thought I looked like fun, as long as he didn’t have to protect his owner from big, scary looking Jassper. His owner yelled after him, “I keep telling you don’t go near the street!” So I patted his head a couple times and led him back to the small side porch here, where his ‘daddy’ was sitting, enjoying the warm, but not too hot – evening.<\/p>\n

\"Dog

On the way home.<\/p><\/div>\n

This is Jassper’s idea of a fun walk lately, whether it’s the pain or fatigue, or just plain obstinacy – He plants his bum on the road, or in somebody’s lawn – and doesn’t move until he’s ready. Cathi tried to get a couple photos while he was rolling in someone’s grass with all four legs in the air, looking a lot like horses when they perform\u00a0similar actions.<\/p>\n

\"Looking

This is looking down the street toward Canada Street – the kind of shot you take when you’re bored with trying to get the dog to move and think – “hmmm – that just might make an interesting photo —“<\/p><\/div>\n

And, just to show you how much progress we make when we’re trying to encourage the dog not to stop and smell the roses – um, there aren’t any roses – we have no idea what he wants to stop and sniff at. :<\/p>\n

\"Dog

This might be ten steps farther down the road on our way home than the previous ‘sit down’.<\/p><\/div>\n

But – Today Jassper was more energetic than he has been lately. And if only one of us is out walking him, he’s a bear, and often – after we finally convince him to get up and move – he’ll take two steps and flop on the ground and look a combination of ‘tired’ and ‘defiant’.<\/p>\n

That’s not our whole day, we sat and twiddled our thumbs waiting for somebody who said he was going to come look at the Jeep and probably buy it – but he never showed up. Maybe Cathi scared him away when she told him her spouse [ me ] thinks we should both be there when he comes.<\/p>\n

— sigh? –,<\/p>\n
