Well, We had a great time at Aleza and Soren’s home. Jon wasn’t able to drive up, but he said he’ll visit another time, so I’ll have time to wash the Cat in the Hat t-shirt long before he arrives.
Sam ran with Ella and Maggie, Aleza’s dog, in their big lawn for a bit. Aleza asked Sam about feeding the goats, and off we went. Sam actually got right in there and held out handfuls of oats for the nanny goat, two mommy goats and a kid to eat from. They are big goats, except for the kid, but were very nice to Sam. She loved it all. We romped down by their big pond for a bit admiring the geese and the 5 goslings. We trekked over two bridges that Sam loved. She told the fishies to come out and play, but none of them did. Imagine that. There was a field of grass with strawberry plants, then a smallish forest of pine trees with a little brook running into the big pond. We walked through another grassy area then home along the brick wall. Maggie kept Ella quite busy and well away from the electric fence. They seemed to love romping together, as evenly matched as any two dogs I have seen. Maggie was adorable, and loved Sam. This time it was Maggie who wouldn’t stop licking Sam, but she was so sweet about it, it was hard to get mad at her for it. She did try to behave, which is pretty good for a year and half old. We had a little snack, and then ate dinner outside. Something about eating outside makes the food really tasty. That and good cooks! Sam made sure that all the dogs had their toys. She loved throwing Poppy’s rubber squeaky for her. Poppy is the 12-year-old boxer that Elanna adopted recently. Poppy was very patient with Sam. They politely kept Bailey and Benny, the other two dogs, in the house while Ella was there. Both of them seemed to hate boxers, so it was easier to keep the peace with them separated. Sam felt tired, so we went in and she lay down on the floor with a little pillow and took off all her clothes. She wouldn’t put them back on, which really amused all the adults. I am not sure if the new parents of twins were as amused. I think they didn’t want to think about their babies growing up to be quite that uninhibited. It was cool outside, so she put her clothes back on pretty quickly. We had a quiet drive home. She slept the whole way. She was very tired, but she made sure to tell Daddy all about the goats and Maggie as soon as she got home. I think the goats were the biggest hit.
