Letting time go lightly

Spending time in the presence of someone I am so comfortable with is such a joy. Match Dude has been pleasantly surprised by how “rural” feeling my “city” place is. His dog Buckley is coming for a visit today. Buckley spends much of his time at The Garden outdoors with an electric fence or in an outdoor pen. Hopefully we can create suitable space for him.

It has been fun to have someone to cook for. I have never been serenaded with music while preparing meals before. I rather like cooking for someone who is very appreciative of what I prepare and the music in the background.

It appeared Carli has really taken to Craig. Shortly after he arrived, I looked up and found Carli on the couch next to him. More interesting is that she did not attack his shoes or get upset when he went down the hall to the bathroom as she has with every other visitor. This morning she was barking in her kennel early and demanding attention. She went after his shoes as he left this morning – more of her typical behavior. Perhaps she did not want him to leave. It will be interesting to see how she tolerates sharing my attention. Craig is not really a small dog person and I am appreciative that he is being patient with Carli and her antics.

We are both looking forward to the post- op activity restrictions being lifted so that we can begin spending more time being active.

In the meantime, we will enjoy every minute of our time together and be grateful to Match.com. We never would have discovered each other without it.
