Summer Day-Not the dogs day.

Today is Brian's birthday party. Unfortunately I am not
able to attend because I have been asked by a dear friend
to watch her dog today while they are selling their house.
Actually their agent is having an open house and they need
to be out of the house for a few hours. I am very fond of
them and their dog, Nina. Nina is one of my "godchildren".

It is now after 6:18, I brought Nina home a little after 5. It took
a few minutes to get her in the car because she hates cars. She
stook on the sidewalk near the porch while I was calling her from the
driveway. I had to laugh when she turned her aging and fragile body
around to mount the stairs to go back inside. I went to get her and
held her in my arms and talked with her. I know she didn't hear me
(she's deaf)but I hoped that my cuddling with her and carrying her
back to the car. We got to her house shortly after that.

While she was here it was rather quiet. I watched tv while she sat
on the cool kitchen floor. We went outside for a while and she did
her "job". It is definitely getting harder for her to do it. When
she finished we came upstairs here and I was on the computer. Nina
slept on the floor instead of the bed I made with my bed sheet.

I can't help think that this will be the last summer for Nina. She
is as I said old and very thin. She is quite deaf and I am not sure
she will be able to go to Utah with her parents.
