Update on me and the little lummox....
.... not that any of you were waiting for an update. A few nights ago we were walking along a little fence in the neighborhood when I saw what I thought was a dead groundhog. Lummox almost stepped on it. It was very much alive, however, hoping and praying in its little animal brain that we wouldn't see it. It shot out from under our feet and ran away down Moravian Creek as fast as it could. Lummox was so startled it took him a second before he had a reaction. Then he went wild, and almost drug me down the creek after the groundhog. I got him under control and back to the house.
Yesterday we went out along the Reddies River trail to see the Chocolate pony. Chocolate was there, right in his usual spot, calmly munching the grass. Lummox sat down with him and began to munch the grass too. He was very nice to Chocolate, who didn't seem the least bit disturbed. I'll have to get Mulan to come down and see Chocolate with us. He's a cute little thing. Hasn't put on his winter coat yet.
Today we were walking at the Community College. It is the great Cycle North Carolina bike rally day and literally hundreds of bikers were pedaling into the college. The park area was covered with little tents with bikers and their friends relaxing and talking after a hard days ride. We walked up to the new technology building, which at least is now totally enclosed with walls now. In the process the lummox attacked a duck nesting under a bush. The duck would not give up its spot, so I had to haul the little beast away before the duck pecked his eyes out. On the rest of the walk he got to meet some dogs and was well behaved, for him. And a cute little girl pet him for a few minutes and thought he was so cute. He was a happy little dog.
While we were leaving the parking lot we saw two of the distinctive black and red buses making the Greensboro to Boone run. Don't know why they would use two buses, but it is homecoming weekend up there, so maybe there was actually that many riders. It's good to see the route prospere.
