sherlock the sled scooter dog
So, I was walking from the kitchen into the living room and I look up, out the front window, and see 2 neighborhood kids with backpacks on their shoulders running full speed toward home from the bus stop. Just as I was about to look away, I see a dog chasing them. Nay, a beagle chasing them. A tremendously happy beagle. Our beagle. With full glory, tongue joyously whipping in the wind, muscles rippling with the effort… Because he was tethered to a perfectly taut leash… Which was attached to my daughter… Who followed like a Roman charioteer upon her scooter… Which was flying at speeds no scooter has ever seen.
I think they just invented an urban asphalt Iditarod.

It’s good to read your blog again! It’s great to hear what’s going on - except for the Cuthbert thing, poor cat!! I’m smiling and laughing and missing you so much all at the same time.
