Summer Weekend

Our goal is actually to see Wall-E this weekend. We love the Pixar movies.

Today I got up at 6:30 and took Zoe-girl out for two hours, talking to neighbors and such. Then I fed her and slept a while, got up and went to our bi-monthly catered brunch downstairs (a sure sign we pay too much to live here) for order-your-own-omelets. Chef CJ was in attendance and he will be catering our July 4th festivities, more on that later. He also promised a few recipes for us.

We stayed a while past noon then went to the dog diving contest downtown. They vie for distance in a vinyl pool. Check out http://www.dockdogs.com. They were coming right at us and while we were about 15′ away to avoid the splash and under a tent to escape the sun, the look of joy in their eyes was palpable as they sailed through the air. Best distance in the 2 p.m. flight was 19′ 4″

We did not take the “hip-less wonder” Zoe dog to the event or compete. She might be good at this. We may have to train her (where?) and give her special disabled status because she has no hips.

After that we went to the 2nd best burger joint in the country, according to Playboy online April 2008. It’s called Christian’s Tailgate, midtown, and it’s a pub/sports bar. Great burgers.

We were really late for lunch so picked up some frozen pizza and cooked it for dinner. Now Jim’s playing a PS3 game and I’m ready for bed. No cooking today. Dee took the day off.

Cheers! Enjoy your summer Sunday.

  1. As far as I know, there is no category for Doggie Special Olympics – but Zoe should do great in the waterjump competition nonetheless! but I don’t know how you would train w/out water???

  2. She’s 20″ at the withers, according to my measurement (you, Val, will get a better read as her brilliant hip surgeon). Eighteen inches is a “lap dog” but let’s see if she likes it first. If they made her a lap dog….
    Your dock would be perfect for a first try. She’d scare the fish but then your Dad could catch them. Like he doesn’t already. Dee
