Ah, the weather is beautiful today! I’m out in the back yard working on a new painting. I paused to blog. I’m typing on this cool little word processor called a NEO that I can carry with me anywhere. I totally rocks.

I’m letting Lola run around the yard while I work. She’s so funny though. She won’t run around the yard unless I do as well. She just wants to stay right with me. That’s wonderful when we’re out walking but when I’m trying to work it’s a pain! She KEEPS stealing my pencils, my eraser, my NEO. The only thing that will calm her down is for me to play my Irish whistle. The instant I start playing she settles right down and sits near me in the shade. Every time. It’s fascinating to me. She loves music! I think that’s so neat. See, dogs and people aren’t so different. She just wants to run around, love and be loved, and to have some good music to listen to. I can relate to that.
