Sunday

Later in the day, we took Dee Dee to the park outside of the Dunedin Community Center where there are many large oak trees. On the way home, John took a detour downtown. I saw all these umbrellas on display, and John said "Get out and take a picture for your blog, and I'll circle around the block and pick you up." Very thoughtful man. He has a good eye for out-of-the-ordinary things. It comes naturally to him, but I have to work at it.

We stuck close to the house most of the day. Dee Dee is following her new schedule of eating 1/2 can of food every 6-8 hours. We're feeding her by hand to entice her to eat. She walks away from her bowl when there is food in it. My theory is that it's difficult to eat with the bowl on the floor because of gravity and pressure on her throat and chest. But she also won't eat if you hold the bowl up to her. She still has to "pick it up" with her mouth. Somehow, the direct "take" from your fingers is easier. She is still enjoying her walks, but we have to plan them for early in the morning or early evening. Sometimes we can take her to a shaded park if it's not too hot and we make it quick.

We walked from our house to the the corner of Bayshore and Curlew and took a detour through the new Stirling Park. We came upon these two racoon squirrels playing in the pine trees. They are larger than the regular squirrel and they have an enormous tail that looks like a racoon, hence the name.

Walked 7.6 miles
