I kidnapped him

I did. I took a couple of pain killers for my oncoming headache and whatever else was giving me grief and I announced, "In an hour I'm headed out of here!" Poor picked on hubby. He gets up later in the morning then I do, has a bowl of cereal and falls asleep in his chair for a bit. He was a good guy. He said he'd go with me. We bundled the dogs into the car and down the freeway we went to the state park that I am smitten with. Oh my Moxe pup was a character. She reminded me of a colt let out into the Spring air. She made my shoulder and hand hurt more than once. I'm sure the fir trees and lake and just everything had her senses buzzing. Kind of like me going into a doughnut shop- that's how Moxe acted. Healthy pup for sure. The soft path we walked probably is more of a path headed toward picnic tables than a trail. I just needed to be among trees for a bit. It's joy to me. I hope everyone here found some nose popping joy today, just like Moxe did.

I'll admit, I'm very glad you kidnapped your hubby. I was afraid we'd have to take up a collection to get you out of jail if you kidnapped someone else. And a walk through the forest sounds blissful to me, too. I wish I could have gone with you.

@DaddyEvil I just finished baking some basic sugar cookies. If you had been here to walk with me I would have baked them sooner and brought them along for our excursion. I was a bit of a meanie when I was younger. My daughter said I scared people when I looked at them...... Not these days so much.

@sallypup Sugar cookies are always good. Pretty always teases me, too. Everybody knows I'm sweet and innocent.

Well, it is Saturday, sunny, and I plan to maybe get outdoors today. You are right, it does us good to get outside when we can.

I wonder what Roscoe would think if I found a forest to take him to ..... gheeez, we'd have to drive a long way to get to one though and he doesn't really care for car rides all that much. If not for Tuffy I'd probably take off in search of one but I just can't leave that poor kitty alone for that long.

@Good question about Roscoe. I wonder what Rufus was used to before we knew him? I imagine your outdoors being similar to where I used to live. Sagebrush and sharp weeds....

No sagebrush around here, mostly sand with sparsely growing cacti of sorts and wild tiny daisies. I'll have to make it a point to get a snap shot of what our desert looks like around here.

@rebelann I loved having three acres even as I admit it was a lot of waste land, sandy this side of a sharp weeded mess parking lot. Not all of it but enough. I quickly got tired of pulling goat head needles out of the pup's feet. OUCH.

I enjoy my outdoor walks, Yesterday, I picked up a pretty walk. I want to get a small aquarium going, and I picked up a totally white piece of coral. That would be good to put into it.

I loved to kidnap my dog from his bed whenever I felt that I need company and put him into my room. He would sleep at near my door when it happen.

@jstory07 Thanks. I did not do as much walking last year. I am going to push myself more this year and that includes doing more gardening.

That would have been a wonderul walk. Moxe would have been in her element.

Moxe's exuberance in the park, reminiscent of a young colt, brings joy to you!

@Dreamerby You are right. I wish I were stronger so that I could cope better.
