Dog Walking and Sleeping

As instructed, we feed Dog at 7pm  and have been thrusting him out into the backyard at 9 to take care of necessities, and it has worked fairly well although we have had a few incident of barking in the night. However, for the last few nights, I have added a walk after Sue goes to bed. She goes to bed at 9, and I will take him out for maybe twenty minutes sometime within the next hour or two.

Somewhat surprisingly, upon our return, he turns up our driveway without prodding, no matter from which direction we are approaching.

On one dark pilgrimage, I appreciated that the house up the street is really well done up well for Halloween.

Then I came to the house way up on the corner that has a lot of yard decorations, but most are hard to see at night, which does miss the point somewhat. The second guy is huge and has his big, fiery head way up in the trees.

As for Dog, he spends too much time in my chair, with or without me. It's not my fav thing either way. He is with me again right now at 7:40am. Sigh. 

I do like this next photo, however. The light caught him nicely on the couch one afternoon.

We still have almost six weeks to go.
