Do I have something stuck in my teeth?

 

Our neighbors added "RBG" and blinking lights to their Halloween statue to go along with the scales of justice and the sword of truth. Notice the neck collar and big glasses.

We came upon a papillon dog (very small) on our walk. It saw Toby and started barking. The woman came out to let the dogs meet. In the past, that would have been a disaster move with either Dexter or Dee Dee. But Toby handled a little barking dog really well. They ended up kneeling down and playing. That's what normal dogs do. We would have gotten a picture, but we're still surprised that we don't really trust that it's going to go well enough to take our eyes off of him. Maybe next time. Toby gave the woman some kisses.

It was 79 degrees on our sunset walk tonight at 5:45.

And it was 79 degrees this morning on our causeway walk. We put Toby in the crate to learn some self control and teach him to deal with any separation anxiety. I think it worked because he was on his best behavior the rest of the day.

The temperature got up to 84 degrees on our mid-day walk. That's Lake Saundra off to the right.

Toby has learned to shake. He's right-pawed.

Miles walked: 7.5
