Carli and Buckley and Brady, Oh My!!

Carli is learning to grudgingly share her space with Buckley – a 14 month, 50 # poodle/terrier mix. Buckley is sweet as can be with a lot of puppy energy. Carli has been her usual aloof self with intermittent outbursts of anger.. My covered deck is a nice place for Buckley to hang out as he is used to being outside most of the time. Today we took Buckley over to my son’s backyard to meet Brady and exercise.

As sweet and nonaggressive as Buckley was, Brady was immediately threatened and there were some tense interactions but we think with more time, they will learn to play together. Brady’s dislike was immediate – ?? bigger dog, boy dog?? We are still waiting for her to explain herself.

Yesterday I made more pie crust resulting in another apple pie and quiche. Both seemed to satisfy Match Dude. I was rather pleased with how the pie turned out.

Craig cleaned up the dishes last evening after the meal. He is used to hand washing dishes so this is what it looked like after he finished. Everything was balanced and it all stayed in place.

Tomorrow Carli and I will go up to The Garden for a few days. I am going to use a riding lawn mower for the first time, ever. So much fun.!!!!!
