Summer 2014.

Kai's adventures so far this summer:
1. Lazy slug whenever it gets to 90 degrees, you can find Kai inside, on her favorite chair lounging.
2. Walking in morning and some evenings, depending on when her owner, me, feels like braving the heat.
3. Boarding while the family was away. Went to pick her up and she wanted to go back inside. I am pretty sure it had nothing to do with the weather and everything to do with her desire to play with the other dogs.
4. Brought home from boarding, escaping out of gate causing a merry chase. I chased her up a hill, which I could walk, running just to keep an eye on her was a little moisture producing. She decided to go in someone's backyard and climb that hill, where she found some lovely barking dogs. This slowed her down just a tad, long enough for me to climb this hill on my hands and knees and have her run down the hill and watch me crawl back down it. Then she was off again, but this time towards home and downhill. She stopped long enough for me to catch up with her and I am pretty sure if I had gone towards her she would have taken off, so I sat on the curb. She came up next to me but just far enough so I could not reach out and grab her, when I got up she took off. She came to a road and I yelled stop and stay. She must have been tired because she actually listened. I was able to catch her. My dismay came when I realized I would have to carry her 4 blocks because I forgot the leash and my cell phone. 30 pounds is not fun to carry downhill, luckily not uphill. Husband passed by without seeing me, I was behind a tree apparently. Both Kai and I were a little exhausted from our run/walk. Hopefully, this will not happen again anytime soon.
5. Today she is playing with a monkey I bought her. She loves to throw it up in the air and catch it. I did not get her out this morning for a walk, I hope I can get her out this evening.

I will keep you posted.
