My kind of walk

I didn't know it, but it seems that yesterday's marathon had a reason.  It wasn't all about an orchid, which was what I thought.. 

Little Ern isn't coming to work this week, so SHE's on a mission to make sure I get really tired.  And yesterday she achieved her goal.

Today was MUCH easier - we went for a walk around the lake, and then around the Pines oval, and I like both places a lot.  No pebbles to hurt my paws.

I'm very good about jumping into the car now, and always jump in on my own.  SHE often lifts me out though, because it's very high for a small black dog with short legs.
