Maggie and Me

Maggie and I have been fending for ourselves this weekend as Loverly abandoned us in favor of a girls very long weekend in Harbor Springs.  Work days Maggie gets a little bored at home but we had help from a good friend who got her out and about a couple of times a day.

We have tried to make up for it today by spending the day on our great adventure. We started at the bark park - which Maggie absolutely loves - then we went grocery shopping and to the barber shop for a hair cut for me. The barbers have all grown to love Maggie's visits though all to infrequent. Aside from the fact that I am a paying customer, I think they would rather see her then me!

We then came home for a well deserved nap.  Around 4:00, Maggie suggested we take a stroll down to the beach.  I complained loudly but eventually conceded and we walked to the beach and spent time staring at things in the water that I obviously could not see.  Maggie, however, was enthralled by what I can only imagine was her own reflection!

Now it is dinner time and we have opened the veranda for dining.  The table is set for 1 1/2 and I have prepped and will begin cooking a sumptuous meal for us.  Well, for me and Maggie will be looking for the leftovers. She is such a delusional young dog!

Well, it is that time and the kitchen calls.  Not to mention, my stomach is growling. I think we forgot lunch during our great adventure!! So not like me.

Tomorrow Maggie will join me at my office.  I am still struggling with how to make her time there more productive but it seems all she ever wants to do is people watch from my office window on the 5th floor.  I shouldn't say this but I spend a lot of time at that window myself.  It really is a good spot from which to people watch and sometimes for reflection on life's events.
