it's friday and that should mean hooray for the weekend and no work. but not this weekend. dix and i have an agility trial. should be nice and small, so not really long days. really hoping this front moves through sooner rather than later and we get a push of less humid air. still rather sticky this morning after spotty, strong storms last night. dix was pleased with the amount of rain she found in the grassy dip at the park. it was the perfect place to cool off while fetching the ball. and laurens was pleased as usual to keep watch at the front window while we were at the park. he uses the morning watch as his short rest after an early morning full of hall racing. and then once we had returned from the park, laurens was able to relax completely and become one with his sheepskin. all in all a nice, normal friday am.
