Several months back, Jack and I were in Walmart and he wanted to buy flower seeds, so we did.  He picked out lavatera.  Only one plant survived, for many different reasons, but it's in full bloom right now and he was amazed by the flowers.

Charlie and Heidi are getting along famously, so well in fact, that the grass is being destroyed by their playfighting and perennials are been smashed as they run through the garden.  Sigh.  We took both of the dogs to the dog park this morning, along with Jack.  There is a penned area for dogs who are small or still learning and it's usually empty.  I usually take Charlie there to begin with to run off some of his energy because he still doesn't have great recall.  He comes when he's ready and not before.

This morning there was a group of five or six dogs outside the pen running laps with Charlie on the inside.  He's so fast and the dogs love it, none of the dogs can keep up to Charlie.  He's fast and I think he just loves running.  Good exercise for all of the dogs involved.

I've still got a sore throat and still don't feel well.  The sore throat is the worst though.  The other night I had to take something for the pain, it was that bad.  I'll live but it's unpleasant.
