Free At Last

The question on everyone's lips here in Seattle isn't about whether one candidate rally her supporters or if a wife's speech was "out of the ball park," but rather: "where the heck did our summer go?"

It took all of June and a substantial portion of July to get summer, then zap (literally, we did have lightening) it was gone.  Drenched.  The back yard rain gauge is full!

But it hasn't stopped Sage from getting out.  Free at last!  However, I did notice during the lightening (and thunder) she made a beeline for her crate, and still seems clingy during the work day.  Even when we got out for the day on Saturday, she hung around fairly close for her, mostly studying the bugs, which is helpful when we're fly fishing.

I notice, too, the cold weather affects her leg.  Join the club, Sage.  The damp gets into my bones, too.  I am thinking we may become snow birds!  Yikes!  Copper bracelets all around!

Murphy's day.
