More StayCationAnniversary

On Wednesday took the dogs to a former missile silo site over in Newman Lake, WA that was completely fenced. I found this through an advertisement on CraigsList. The owner advertised it as a secure dog run site. We rented it for 2 hours. All the dogs ran, played, & ran some more. They were completely worn out.

However, we were to have it privately and then some strange old men came into the compound, and wanted to get their car out of storage. The dogs went nuts barking at them. We had to leave because the people would not let us have the area in private any more. Hubby went up to complain to the owner who apologized profusely. He had not anticipated these people coming.

We took dogs back to our place, then went to Spokane to eat lunch at Kowalski's, a little known great sandwich place inside a bank building. Cheney to pick up KRN's bike & leave her plants she purchased.

On Thursday we got lattes after sleeping in until 9AM! Wow. When we drove into A-town, Dead dog was missing from its yard. We are very concerned that DD has either died or been taken by the Humane Society.

Traveled up to Hope, Idaho to visit the then stopped at 1PM for reservations at The Floating Restaurant. Great food, excellent service & it was wonderful to sit on the water in the sun! We finally left at 3PM.

Both before & after lunch we observed grazing herds of whitetail deer at The David Thompson Game Preserve on the penisula. Stopped in Sandpoint to get Cupcakes but were told they only "bake them on the weekend" and they were closed for the season effective this coming weekend.

Long drive home; almost fell asleep. Hubby worked at the shop for a while, then took dogs down to deserted subdivision & let them run.

Home to bed. Long day.
