SWEET NAVIA!
I was so pleased to have Nick call me this morning and ask
me to go shopping with him. I had about a 3-hour window before Monica and her
friend Ben were coming to cruise around Decatur a little and eat supper with
us. However, Nick only lives 15 minutes away from our new house in Decatur, so
we got in a good visit.
I took some leftovers to Nick’s for our lunch, and we
enjoyed talking about everything under the sun. I really liked the way Nick was
not in a rush, just taking the day easily! Afterwards, he said, “So, are you
ready to go shopping?” I said, of course, that I was; so Nick put a leash on
his pointer dog Navia, and off we all went to buy…Navia a Christmas toy at the
nearby pet store. Hmmm, well, he didn’t say where he wanted to go shopping!
Of course, we had to walk past a park, where Nick could take
Navia off the leash to chase after the squirrels. She is a speedy dog that runs
in bounds like a deer. What a delight to watch her! It’s a good thing for the
squirrels that they know how to switch back and forth, because she was ‘way
faster than they were!
NAVIA found just the right toy for Nick to get for her that
was made out of tire leather. You can fill it with a plastic bladder and fill
that with all sorts of chewy things. It was PERFECT! Plus, Nick added a pig’s
kneecap (YUCK!), but he just couldn’t resist it. She went straight to it every
time he let her go in the pet shop.
When we got back to his house, Nick put the Christmas
present away until Christmas Day, and Navia spent her time chasing the red ball
that had a tasty treat inside of it. As you can see, she loves that ball…as
long as it has the tasty treat, of course!
Thanks, Nick, for the invitation to GO SHOPPING! It was
truly a new experience for me.
MONICA AND BEN
Sorry, Monica and Ben, how did we let our lovely time
together go by without taking any pictures?! Thanks so much for coming to see
us! I’m glad you both like Decatur! Please come back again soon. We will solve
some more of the world’s problems when you do. See you in January!
