Today we went to "Everybody Rides" in Newark, NY. A group from Kodak (and others) have been going to this site for several years. We built a pole barn two years ago, wired it for lights and electricity last year and this year built some floating floors for outdoor stalls and put up shelving and racks for tack and gear. Paxton met "Finny", a wonderful calm Morgan horse. Paxton was curious but cautious, especially when Finny snorted in his face!

My last date with Noel?

Today mom and I went to Noel's house for a play date. Mom said to have fun because it was going to be our last off-leash playtime (something about Noel becoming a big girl?!) So we ran and played, and played and ran and hmmm, Noel smells a little different today. I feel all funny inside....

Mom says if we're both very, very good at our jobs, that maybe, someday, we'll meet again for a real "play date". (wink, wink!)

Back to work

Today we came back to work. It was an adjustment after two weeks off!! After lunch I wanted to play and there were people coming out of the conference room. Barking at them seemed like a reasonable way to get some attention. Mom didn't agree. She put me in my crate. I was reaaaallllllly good and didn't bark. I chewed my bone and went to sleep. I guess it's back to the routine!
