A bit of a temperature difference between yesterday (60) and today (30).

Yesterday, after our morning walk (see below), Loki and I drove to M’s place, to pick her up and go to breakfast. There was a ten minute wait at the café, so M said, "Keys, please." And went back to the car to spend a few more minutes with Loki. It actually took fifteen minutes, but M came back after ten and sat on half my lap while we waited, which made my day since she’s a hottie and she did this in public as if it was no big deal.

After breakfast, we went to the forest preserve near her parents’ and walked the bike path a total of two-and-a-half hours. Well, we walked on the path. Loki walked in the leaves, in the mud, on the ice, and in the icy water. If there was a choice between a dirty, wet path and a clean, dry path, Loki took the former every time.

After our walk we visited M’s parents. M also washed Loki’s undercarriage. The silly puppy loves water, except when it means she’s getting a bath. Then she whines and complains and can’t wait to get out of the tub.

On the way back to M’s place, we stopped by the grocery store and M got Loki some rawhides. Thank you, M! You spoil Loki! And me, too.
