I had a much-needed two weeks off. While I didn't travel much, I got to see Eric, explore new places in Tucson, and get a lot done around the house. I put together six privacy screens, two metal shelves and one overbed table that I discovered I'm using more than any other firm top. While I didn't do daily hikes, I got my walking in and I made sure all six dogs got some walking or off-leash time every day.
More importantly, my new home is starting to look like a home. The shelves make the space more organized and tidy. I want to now start decorating it.
For my last free day I stayed local, walking Gretchen to the mailbox and back for a two-mile walk. A few hours later I drove to Bisbee with Hansel to try out a new eatery in town: Bad Assery, a burger bar right off Main street owned by couple Janna and Kevin. Both are passionate bikers.
On the drive back home I stopped at the San Pedro River to let Hansel out. I wanted him to drink some water and pee before heading back home where I knew he would refuse to get out of the car. He likes to den up in my Honda overnight. I don't mind as he doesn't destroy anything, but it's going to dip into the 20s overnight Wednesday when that massive cold front slams the central part of the country.wa
It was a short stop of 14 minutes and 0.6 miles, Hansel splashed around in the water and sniffed around. I came up on a small cross near the water's edge. I thought it was a placeholder cross for a deceased migrant. Instead it was for a dog that only lived to be three years old, Fuu. Its fur was still on the harness that was wrapped around the cross. Seeing that cross hit me hard. Losing a pet is never easy.
