Gunnar's Day Out

Yesterday G-man went to the vet for his yearly checkup and a shot in the butt. The vet is smitten with the white Husky and I think they would have played for hours if other clients weren't in the waiting room. Gunnar has great hips for a large dog, says the vet, and looks great. I used the term "perfect specimen," but that's of course what I tell everyone that the doctor actually said. That's how mothers are.

Dog is indeed our co-pilot

Mr. H and I took Gunnar to the Saturday morning farmers market in Spring Green to see how he would act in public. Gunnar hasn't had a lot of opportunities like that. He is our farm dog and gets out plenty at home but we live on a dead end road, so he doesn't get a lot of socialization except what our immediate neighbors provide...and they are great with Gunnar. There were so many new sights and smells and people: Gunnar loved it all. He's a bit exuberant though so we have to keep him from hugging kids; he's a bit big for that, but unlike the Chihuahuas, he won't actually eat the children.
