Honey takes a ride

Going in the car is not one of Honey's favorite things to do. To save myself a chase, I scooped her up and put her in the car before I loaded Buster. She did fine after a a few reassuring pats. She has figured out the treat part. I was cooling the "flame broiled patties" and dividing them and she was all of a sudden in the front seat.

It is always a puzzle what animals understand. Friend Mike said his neighbor who has aging horses has had to bury a few over the past years. He has one old horse left and he was looking pretty sad last fall so he hired a backhoe to dig the hole before the ground froze. The horse checked out the hole and did his best to gallop and whinny all winter long. Made it to Spring in fine shape.

Miss Honey disappeared twice for awhile after we returned this evening. So I got the leash out. We had a few tug of war matches and a "take down" and a time-out. After I thought I had won the day I left the leash on her and was scratching Buster. Looked over and Honey had the leash cut halfway through with her puppy teeth. I have a feeling the battle of wills with her is not going to be a cakewalk. An unruly 100 pound dog is not an option.

Almost got myself in a real jam today. I have been working at reducing the "spare tire" (for an eighteen wheeler! ) Faded too far, had a low sugar incident-not out, but very low. Figured it out finally and took steps but you feel lousy for awhile afterwards. Must have had too much glucophage for the amount of food (admittedly not much). Testing will have to be more frequent for awhile.
