Saturday Jan.8

Very windy , all day ... morning run, joined by little Mattie ... the wind gets my sinuses cranked up , headache ... feed and kennel. Out again, still very windy, brief run, little Mattie still here ... can't go inside as husband has decided to rearrange cabinets and has everything all over floor, even the Damcat is locked in bedroom ... load up dogs and head for Aiken ... go by Boots and Bridles, take Corey in, some pretty great dane puppies for sale, Corey is entranced (and he doesnt usually like puppies) ... then to Pet Smart, take Snoopy in first, she is fine until too many people and dogs at once make her skittish, poor thing ... back to van, take Corey in next ... a little French poodle is snappish to him, I wish you could see Corey in his abashed backing off mode whenever a dog doesnt like him (very small dogs are often scared of him) ... clerk gives him extra biscuits for being such a sweet guy ... back to van, take in DB and Banshee, who are both in impeccable manners today, sitting patiently and letting children pet them, (even Banshee), sniffing politely at other dogs, DB ecstatically licking little boys' faces ... back to van (everyone gets a potty break when its their turn out) ... then to Tractor Supply for  Probios ... Corey gets the 'comment of the day', a guy asks if he is an Afghan-Irish setter mix (cause he's so big) ... was going to Hopelands Gardens but the wind is still bad, even here in town ... return home, still cant go in trailer, go for brief run, then return and finally! get to go inside for dogs' naps ... very brief as its almost dark ... final very brief run, feed and kennel.
