Friday Sept.17

Up early, still dark, morning run at sunrise ... feed and kennel. Return at same time as husband, he's been getting tags for new van ... little Mattie is waiting for us, outside the kennels where my 4 dogs are waiting, runs up to greet me. Get groceries inside, then release dogs ... evening run, very buggy tonight. Husband reports that all dogs checked out new van, got inside, wouldnt get out ... this van has doors on both sides and can get 4 crates in it, Snoopy and Corey haven't ridden in crates, will see how this works out tomorrow ...  Dogs much better with the Damcat, Corey keeps wanting to sniff Damcat's butt in doggie greeting, Damcat promptly hisses and sits... cats don't say 'howdy' that way ... Snoopy and Banshee still inclined to 'stalk', DB will tentatively reach out to sniff noses, when Damcat hisses DB jumps back .... Mow a bit on side with sandspurs, water a few trees that i can get to without bending... back inside, let Corey in while fix food, then feed and kennel.
