Back to work tomorrow

 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.  



Hansel and I also walked two miles around town to explore side streets not on the Bisbee 1000 route.  I photographed three skeletons along the way.  Bisbee has an obsession with skeletons!





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.
