The Duality of Wally

Always Happy Always in Trouble

Wally, the neighbor's dog, comes by my home every day.  He stops and visits with my dogs and my brother's boston terrier on his way to other adventures.  Wally's owner has to be the most optimistic person on earth, because Wally gets clipped and washed and then seems to immediately find whatever dirt that is available to roll in, wade in, or in this case wallow in.  The futility of keeping Wally clean is obvious.

I wish I could fuse Wally's I don't care attitude and his owner's resilience into my spirit, but I don't think it would take.  I'm a little too practical to think that cleaning Wally up will stop the muddy shenanigans, and too particular to just not care like Wally.

I think I would just dye Wally brown.  Problem solved.

Lovely Sunday Walk

Hot & Humid, but Wally likes it

Typical Missouri summer day, hot and humid. The birds are chirping and the insects buzzing and the neighbors are yelling at Wally, our other neighbor's dog. Wally likes to go and pee on everyone's plants. We are into the zen of Wally and let him roam through but the other neighbors are not as kind. Wally is an upbeat little fluffy white dog - we're really not sure what kind of dog he is, except that he obviously drinks a lot of water so must be part camel.

We're all slow and sleeping today, except for Wally. I was able to go for a walk in the hot humid weather and suffer no ill effects. I'm trying a little bit more each day. The Headache is still there, lurking, waiting and watching for an opportunity for make my day hell, but I'm hoping the short circuit stimulator will do the job and smack it back into place.

Adding some pictures from my walk. Took some pictures of the plants. It's been a wonderful quiet day with the exception of Wally.
