Super Bowl Sunday! The baby is a visual replica of Bodhi. She vocalizes a lot more than he did as a baby. Bodhi is very gentle and loving with her. We took Bodhi on his bike and Karma with her ball down the street from Melody’s parent’s house for exercise and bonding. Karma remembered Bodhi and gave him the ball for throwing. Riding in the truck is boring for Karma and any opportunity for her to chase the ball is taken. It only takes about 20 throws with the “chucker” to wear her out. With 2 throwers (Bodhi and I) it takes a little longer but the effect is the same – Karma will then sleep or rest quietly for about 4 hours.
While visiting the kids, we put Karma out with Nadine/Brooks Henderson’s (Melody’s parents) in tact (un-neutered) male Airedale, Lucky. While the dogs didn’t fight or love for that matter, Karma really wanted to be with us. The challenge was that Melody’s 96 YO Grandmother is there too and an energetic (ok, sometimes obnoxious) dog would be too much. So, Karma stayed in the truck between play sessions.
John was the chief cook, laundryman, shopper, etc. and we all loved the results- snacks for the game and great dinner (Pork Roast) / dessert (Crème Brulee). Boots made applesauce with apples from their trees. So, we know where John got his culinary skills.
