THE SOUND OF FREEDOM

No, that’s not when Kathe drops my leash and I take off. I mean the sounds of all the fighter planes taking off here on the island. Whidbey Island is the home of the Oak Grove Naval Air Station. We hear the jets blasting over us all day long. We call that “the sound of freedom.”

Today it’s so foggy and cold that no one wants to do anything or go anywhere. Kathy T took a solo bike ride this morning to the beach but return quickly because she was so cold. My humans have pretty much been sitting around doing nothing at all for me to write about. If you ask me, I think all that hiking yesterday might be the issue.

As for myself I had a trip to the Best Friends Clinic this afternoon because I have an infection in my driver's side eyeball. I must have gotten a scratch from a pine needle or weed on one of my walks. I do bump into things sometimes like that. The nice lady vets gave me lots of pats and cuddles before they gave me some eyedrops to use for the next 10 days. We shall see how that goes!

Here’s a picture of the sunset last night. I won’t bore you with another picture of yours truly.
