A DAY OF REST FOR SUNDAY

SUNDAY
8-16-2015

Got up at 8:30 and dressed. Didn't know how to dress, for cool weather or hot!

Lil Bit had gotten up several times during the night and I had to pick him up to put him on the bed each time.

Hubby started making eggs for the dogs.

I fed the fish.

Loaded dogs up in grey Dodge for a walk in the park. Hubby stopped to get a latte in town.

We walked the dogs in the park down by the Day Use area. Ran into some people with kids that wanted to pet the dogs. We walked in the opposite direction and met up with them later on the trail. Gave dogs water. Then I had to poop. It was awful.

Got back to the truck and gave dogs some more water. Some stupid family had let their golden retriever out without a leash so we loaded the dogs up hurriedly.

On the way home, hubby wanted to drive to Sandpoint "for a Sunday drive" but I said there was nothing to see there. If he wanted to go, I would need to go home, clean up, change into shorts because it was already getting hotter. We drove home. He fed the deer while I changed and made tea for myself.

Picked up hamburgers for dogs & salads for us at Wendy's on Appleway.

We drove to Rose Lake to walk the dogs along the Trail Of The CDAs. There was a huge 100 acre fire burning at the Hwy 3 and Interstate 90.

Forest Fire on I-90

Hubby had to stop at the gas station to get a bag of popcorn. I waited in the truck with the dogs. There was a family that had left a couple chihuahuas in the car with the windows down and the dogs were screechy barking.

Drove past the Rose Lake Elk Ranch.

We finally got into Rose Lake and walked the dogs on the trail. LOTS of bikes, no place to park. We finally walked them for over 2 miles. It was too hot to walk farther.

At the truck, we gave the dogs LOTS of water. Even though they had drank lots of water on the trail, they were still tired & thirsty.

Chicken Apple Pecan Salad from Wendy's

I ate some of my salad. Yum. I was very hungry.

Hubby drove back to CDA, but we decided to get off the Interstate early and go the back road thru to Mullan Trail Road to look at property. Drove over dirt road that was very bumpy.

At the property, we got out to look at it and saw a dead little fawn curled up. It appeared to have been hit by a car. There was a dent in the grass beside it where the mother must have stayed by the little thing until it died. Very sad.

After looking at the property, we drove home. It had been a long day.

At home, we unloaded everything and rested on the couches for a while.

At 7:45PM after it had cooled down again, we took the dogs for a walk in the park along the Gun Shooting Road.

Came back home. I was exhausted. Went to bed at 9:00PM.
