Old lady Suzi

Jeremy left for a week long hike into the wilderness of Northern Nevada today. It had to be a well thought out exit because he could not take Suzi, but he was planning to take Steve-o. Suzi is getting a little older, and she can only hike for about 2 days tops. This was going to be a five or six 50 mile hike. Yikes. Steven is young and virile, so he would have no problem.

So we planned for me to be a touch late to work. He would pack up the car and then I would take Suzi for a walk leaving him and Steven. When we would come back they would be gone.

This is what happened. I leashed up Suzi, and Steve-o nearly imploded thinking he was missing out on something really fun. I walked out the door and could hear Steve-o wimpering and yelping and having a hissy fit.

Suzi was very excited as we waltzed around the neighborhood. I had to go to work, so I couldn't walk her too long. It was also freakishly humid for Vegas since we have been having rain storms the last few days (yay!) but it has come with hot and muggy weather (boo).

I got back to the house absolutely drenched in sweat, with no time to take a shower. Well, that isn't true; I could have gone in later, but I already took a shower because I wasn't thinking. Woops.

The sa,ddest part of the morning was watching Suzi search the house for Steve-o and Jeremy. Oh my that was so pathetic and adorable, and it broke my heart.

I gave her a peanut butter filled bone and left. She seemed pleased enough.

Poor little Suzi.

It's late at night now and I just got home a couple hours ago. You're very sleepy, and I can't sleep because I spent the last 4 hours trying to stay awake on the road. I was glad to hear that Suzi was fine. I love you very much, and I've missed you. And stevo misses not aching in every bone of his body. But we have to keep in mind that stevo doesn't just hike. Stevo runs down the trail for 100 yards then runs back to see what's taking me so long. And now who's asleep on the floor drooling? That's right, it's the dog this time. Score one for the fully thumbed. That'll teach'em to have more fun than me...
