Lucy and I traveled to the El Cerrito recycling center late this afternoon for both recyling and a dog run. After my recyling duties, we stopped to run the hills above the recyling center…well Lucy ran and I labored up the hill (I must embark on an exercise program that is more than walking the dog). On the first rise I stop…a sixth sense tells me to look up…I see a deer..fawn I think…the sight is beautiful….and I immediately look for Lucy. She also saw the deer…I do not want her to run after the deer. The good news is that I had a dog treat… she came running to me and not the deer!
More deer! I’m driving home from the recycling center with Lucy in the rear of the SUV and see another young deer. The sight was beautiful…even more beautiful because we are driving through the residential neighborhoods of the flatlands of El Cerrito.
I am writing this as my dog Lucy is in my lap…she is not meant to be a lapdog…she is a Kelpie/Lab mix. She is so bloody affectionate and loving. She thinks the world is hers…it probably is!
In the meantime…the cats – Stan and Ollie – continue to be a wonderous joy! As Lucy and I came home from recycling we are greeted by both boys…they escort us to the backdoor.
The joys of the “animal farm”!
Stan and Ollie...and Lucy
