We just had a Banner Weekend. We picked up our new car and Dawson sprung The Big House!
Sunday we picked up the little guy at exactly 8:00am. I am not sure who was more excited – Dawson or John. He squiggled, squirmed, ran in circles and made funny noises – and that was John!
For 24 hours before we picked him up John just grinned from ear to ear at the mere mention of the word “Dawson”.
Needless to say, there were no tears when we left quarantine. First thing was to go to the Ocean and we took Dawson to the dog beach at Mosman Park. It was amazing – tons of dogs just frolicking on the Indian Ocean, sandy beach, breaking waves, chasing balls and pretty much all having the time of their lives. Not one dog was aggressive or obnoxious; they were just all so busy having fun.
We took him home for a break and then like kids in a candy shop we went to the Swan River for another walk. He swam, chased his Frisbee and had so much fun. I think we totally exhausted the little guy after having such a sedentary life in quarantine for 30 days. (John noticed that his normally rough paws had become soft.)
Despite the Banner Weekend, still no movement on the house front. We move from a 2 bedroom unit to a 1 bedroom unit on Tuesday March 11th. At this point we are happy to have any unit.
It was a long weekend, “Labour Day”, so Monday was a holiday and Dawson got 2 straight days of fussing, walks and swimming. I am sure he is probably stiff and sore and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s thinking the sedentary lifestyle in quarantine was not so bad after all.
