Blaine has been working overtime this past ten days looking after me on top of doing all the chores. This morning I woke up feeling a lot better so I celebrated Victoria Day by bringing my man a latte in bed. After our caffeine fix I left him working on his Plan Examiner final assignment and I took the dogs out for a walk. I didn't want to risk re-injuring my back picking up Johnny to lift him on the quad so I put them on the leash and we went for a conventional walk.
We walked down to the beach, where the melting snow has receded in places to show actual sand. Remember I haven't been outside for 12 days (save for taking a cab to the clinic and back), combined with the arrival of consistently mild weather it was like I emerged into a different world. So much snow has gone, there are streams where I was riding the sled and huge great boulders where once it was flat. I really hadn't appreciated how much snow there was on the ground.
The mild weather was a delight, I wore only track pants, a Tshirt and hoodie topped off with gloves and a hat instead of the usual snowboarding pants, Canada Goose jacket and fur mittens and hat. We strolled along the beachfront and were having a lovely time until they took off and disappeared behind some ice. I called them over and they sheepishly re-emerged covered in shit and stinking to high heaven. I did not go over to investigate what they had been in, the stench of the crap on the dogs was making me gag. They got beaten and taken straight home where they were chained up outside like the other dogs in our neighbourhood. to be nice we provided some cardboard and a piece of carpet to lie on and some water to drink, then left the stinking horrible beasts out there to think about what they had done. They ate their supper outside then came back in for a bath and straight to bed.
