Photoessay #1106 - Busy Saturday



My Melina summer is going swimmingly. I picked her up at 11am yesterday and Dennis brought her home after 9 in the evening. We took care of 5 month old Maddie (yorkie/poodle mix) while Danny and Jessica went to a wedding overnight in Bremerton. Melina says that she really wants a 'yorkie' so we gave her a great opportunity to hang out with one. In fact, she was named First Assistant to Ilana who was paid cash money by Danny to take care of the puppy. Maddie got along with Teddy great, they had fun in the backyard chasing the ball and generally chasing. We did do a bit of letterboxing after supper, replacing the 'Stumped' box and finding another on the Interurban Trail not far away. Ilana treated Melina to a cool drink at Starbucks to thank her for her help (playing with Maddie almost all afternoon).

Later in the evening, Matt came over and he and Ilana decided to break out our (not insignificant) lego collection and play with it on the kitchen floor. Melina happily joined in.

I invited Melina to come with me on Friday evening to march in the Tour de Terrace parade (Seafair related parade in Mountlake terrace) as part of the dog park contingent. The parade only covers 4 blocks according to the knowledgeable.
