Abstract Thursday : : Muddy Pond

The things we do for our dogs...….
In Berkeley we had a two story house and Ozzie slept downstairs…
In Santa Rosa he was supposed to sleep in our office…
but he was having none of that
so he sleeps in our room on our bed.
Last night he didn't sleep anywhere.
He paced and moaned and stuck his nose in our faces.
He seemed delighted with this novel new hour for playtime as we each took him outside in the middle of the pitch dark and cold night.
He has a dog door but why should he use it if we're around to open our door for him. Or even if we aren't….
This morning I took him for a walk at 6:30. because he kept pacing around moaning, 
I took a picture of a muddy pond. It looks pretty abstract to me. Pretty well describes my state of mind....
OilMan took him to the vet, who couldn't find anything terribly wrong with him.
Tests were run
All normal.
It seems that it cost almost $300 to find out that, "he probably ate too much grass or who knows what…."
I'm cooking rice and cottage cheese for his dinner. He loves it. 
OilMan is mowing the tall grass under the oak trees.
Ozzie is sleeping like a baby…for now.
