Good Morning and Welcome to Thursday the 11th day of October, 2018.
Appears to have rained/snowed a bit overnight.
The deck tells the story.
The streets and sidewalks may be a bit slippery so everyone be careful.
If you happen to live elsewhere then no worries.
I hope that wherever you live that you are safe and comfortable.
Last night after work Alvin and I went for a nice walk.
I had planned to do a 20-30 minute workout (recorded some different yoga/pilates/stretching shows).
On our way home I happen to glance at the mailbox and remembered that my friend “V” was shipping a parcel to us today.
So we careful made our way across the street and voile we had this HUGE parcel in the parcel mailbox for which they place a key in my mailbox.
It was tricky carrying the box in one hand/arm and Alvin in the other.
He kept wanting to cross the street and I wanted to ensure it was safe.
Finally we got across the street and safely home.
Alvin always goes crazy when we receive a parcel from our friend.
He barked and barked and barked even with a time out (in the bathroom).
Finally got into the box and pulled out his parcel which had the cutest note.
Part of which told him to not to eat it all at once (not her words).
We are so lucky.
I took a short video of him opening his parcel.
He was still pulling away at the tissue paper once his treat bag was unwrapped.
What a character.
Needless to say he loved the treats (only had two).
He still had not had his supper at that time.
I received a deep dish apple pie, carrot cake, two kinds of homemade buns, pumpkin muffins with seeds and multiple little treats.
Afterward we called our friend to say thank you.
We are so lucky.
Quickly here as it is almost time to leave and I must share a funny story.
So after we got the treats put away and wrapping dealt with it was on to my exercises.
I pulled out my yoga mats, yoga bricks and yoga strap (just in case).
I ended up going with a stretching program as I know I need some of that.
Moved some of the furniture out of my way.
Alvin started to bark.
He moved to the sofa and picked up one of his chew treats.
Oh how I wished that I had a video of his reaction.
For the first 10 minutes he fussed and stewed and stewed and fussed while I was exercising.
Perhaps it was something about the yoga mat or the chair or that he was not included.
Tonight will try some yoga and see if the dog can do downward dog …. just kidding.
He will get used to it eventually.
It was so funny seeing his reaction and kind of hard to explain.
You almost had to be here.
I guess he did not know what to think.
Well have to go.
Time to grab my lunch, don the coat and stuff (decided on boots or just shoes)?
Have an awesome Thursday.
Special Hello to: my friend who spoils us rotten and we love it.
Always, Carol & Alvin
