June 14th: My two guys had appointments today: Holland, in Rainier-OR & Bleu in Longview-WA.
Holland's appointment was short and brief.
Bleu's appointment was to get his nails trimmed … a.g.a.i.n. The last place we took him to a month ago, just clipped the hooked points and left the nails long - the long nails are sharp, and they do a good deal of damage to Holland's arms when Bleu jumps on him. The jumping will slow down as Bleu grows up; but for the time being, they've got to be shortened up.
Hopefully, the nail clipping reset will get done properly today.
After Bleu was done, we drove across the street to Pietro's to grab a pizza for lunch. We left Bleu in the truck, and were happy to enjoy our Wednesday Date :-)
Pietro's is no longer Pietro's: it's under new ownership and new management.
The changes called for a mental refocus; there are memories for both of us connected to the old Pietro's Pizzeria. But, life doesn't stand still - and the new changes fit with the New Life we are building, together.
After our date lunch, we drove across the bridge and enjoyed some more downtime at Rainier Beach :-)
The tide was high.
I let Bleu off leash and walked with him about a mile down the beach, while Holland slowly followed in the 4x. When his little legs got tired, I put him in the truck and we drove down the beach.
Enjoying the sunshine.
Enjoying being together.
Enjoying the fun in life :-)
Right now, we are enjoying local activities; but hopefully by the end of the month, a restart will be enacted when we pull stakes and move on to new experiences and making new memories :-)
Back home, I changed Bleu's leash neck collar for a leash harness … he isn't too wild about it, but he'll get used to the readjustment: it's going to be a permanent fixture.
