Hugo and I are now in the world with electricity. Hugo is not as appreciative as I am. The fire by us is still burning but it has worked its way north. Blue skies and no smoke. Maybe our phones and internet will give us contact with you out there. I am sorry for the lack of communication. The phone would work sometimes. The internet was off. If you tried to reach us and we did not respond that is why. Hugo is more concerned about not getting his walks. He is still limping. We stopped and visited his sister. They had a good reunion. But still no walks.

Hugo and I have been watching the moon. We finally saw the strawberry moon. We missed the pink moon, we have seen a blue moon, it wasn’t blue. We have never seen one in February. The strawberry moon is quite impressive. All those little craters are seeds. Does that mean we will have hundreds of moons? Hugo would love more snow moons. He thinks we should have a an ice cream moon. The cow jumped over the moon. The man in the moon could milk the cow and make ice cream during the snow moon.🌙. Hugo gets his pill in a spoonful of ice cream. He doesn’t get a strawberry moon walk.

Sunday. We started today with 76 trombones in the morning sun for weather or not we liked it. 3 pm we had 101 Dalmatians. We didn’t like it. pm may mean post mortem. Hugo was inside with a fan. I was working outside in the shade. The shade disappeared. I came in with Hugo. Hot, too hot to trot. Hugo is feeling better. We went to Portland Friday and came back Saturday. Steve was watching the animals. When I got home Hugo leaped over the couch to see me. Hugo is still on no walks restriction. Too hot to walk anywhere. Anyway. Anyhow. Hugo is praying for snow. Unlikely, but it would be nice. I saw an iceberg disintegrate in the ocean. Maybe it was 101 there too. Antarctica is gaining ice. Maybe they could spare some for Hugo. I had frozen sugar water on a stick. Helped me cool down. Hugo would like one of those toilet paper tubes with ice cream. Or just a bowl or gallon. Nap time, no walk.

Thursday. Hugo went to see Dakota for his grooming. I warned her that he had a sprained wrist. She knew how to take care of him. To trim his nails she had him lie down. No problem. But she wanted him on his back. He looked at her. Are you crazy? You never have me on my back. He finally consented and she brushed his belly. Oh yes, this is good. Belly brushing and toe nail trim. The good life. But no walk.

Linda found a hat for me. I am a limited edition, which most of the world is grateful for. Hugo feels one of me is enough too. Maybe if there were multiple me’s he would get more walks. Right now I can give him all the walks he is allowed. My Fitbit watch thing with my phone is telling me I am unstable in my walking. I am not walking near as much as I did before Hugo tried flying after the stray cat. We both miss our long walks.

Nothing to see here just bears plowing a field

Today Memorial Day. In WWII, A plane is flying to drop bombs. The bombardier is releasing the bombs. One gets stuck. The phosphorus is leaking. Phosphorus burns when in the presence of oxygen. The whole plane will explode. He carries the bomb, burning his skin, his eyes, blinding him. Stumbling without sight he throws it out a window. The plane lands and he taken to the medics. He is flown to a hospital. He is flown to a second hospital. He is given a medal. He dies when he is 80 years old. He isn’t the only hero. A sea of red poppies grow in Flanders field. The world’s greatest generation. We still have heroes protecting our country. Because of their courage and sacrifice we can still freely walk.

Hugo has a swollen paw. This is a picture of him with the veterinarian. The swelling is going down but he is still limping. Four weeks with very limited walks. He does get his ice cream with a pill in it. We sit in the garden, we sit on the deck, we sit on the couch. To the garden is our long walk.

Hugo and I went to the veterinarian yesterday. They moved. We called and got the new location. X rays, palpitations, no broken bones. A sprain of his wrist. No cat scan, Moche had done that. No lab work. The Labrador was on vacation. There was a miniature Australian shepherd puppy. Thirteen weeks old. Still in training to be a veterinarian technician. Hugo is on pain and anti inflammatory medication. And strict orders to take it easy. No long walks, no walks except to go outside for P-mail. Local delivery only. We sit in the garden. We sit on the couch. We sit on the deck at 10:30 for 30 minutes. Then go to bed. With out a walk.

I took Hugo out the patio door to leave some P-mail. A stray cat, black with orange stripes, brindle?, was walking by. Hugo leaps off the 6’ cliff and leaves me laying on the pavers. He is standing by the cabin, where I think the cat lives. When I get there he is just standing, with his left paw up. He doesn’t move. He won’t put weight on it. I pick up him up with my arms behind his front legs. I can’t pick up a 100” dog. We stagger part way up and Linda takes over. We trade off and get him in the house. He sort of does a three legged stagger over to the living room rug and lays down. While this is happening my grand kids are trying to FaceTime. I palpate his leg and nothing seems to be hurting. We sleep in the living room. In the morning his paw is swollen. Still not walking. Still to heavy to carry. He does the three legged stumble out and back. He is moving a little better. Now sleeping on the rug by me sleeping on the couch. I don’t think we will be taking our usual walks.

I am sure you know of the leaning tower of pizza. Did you know the Eiffel Tower also leans? I think the architects and engineers met at the border and had lunch. Wine and pizza. They had left overs. The French went back and used the wine bottles to support the other side of the tower. The Italians used the pizza. Wine bottles don’t get soggy when wet. Pizza does. Everyone knows Venice is built on a big swamp. Swamp water makes pizza soggy. The leaning tower of pizza. The Eiffel Tower leans and wobbles. It is still pulling wine up from its foundation. It was supposed to be taken down after 20 years. It is still there wobbling. Dog engineers know better than to use pizza or wine bottles for a foundation. The Pyrenees mountains were built by the Great Pyrenees engineers. They don’t lean or wobble. Up north of Italy the Swiss alps were built by the Saint Bernard clan, cousins of the Great Pyrenees. They don’t lean or wobble. The dog world is much better. Think like a dog. Italian dogs lift their legs on the one side of the tower trying to soften the ground there to even it up. The Great Pyrenees use all sides of the mountains to keep them straight. If you are in Italy, on the leaning side, use your fast walk.
