Busy

This week, I get my new car and return my old car. There is a lot to be done.

Today, I took the dogs for one last swim with the new car. After, I cleaned it out good.
It was a beautiful day and I just went down to the local walk on the river Loup. We were able to get the spot where there are usually fisherman. It is very deep and a great swimming hole. Yesterday it poured, so the river was wild.

I gathered sticks to throw on the way. Kate was so happy to be swimming. She is so fast that the rush of the river does not even effect her. Emile must stay on the long lead as he is not nearly as athletic as her. He still likes to get in and get his own sticks. I threw one a little too far out and he pulled me right into the water. It was a good thing that I didn't have a camera with me. It was cold, but not so bad. I want to get in soon myself. I was soaked from my shoulders down.

On the way back we met a couple with a whippet. They asked me about Emile and on cue, Emile started mouthing off, very loudly. The man could not stop laughing. He had a big white mustache and found Emile hilarious. I find it terrible embarrassing when he screams the way he does. Imagine your at Walmart with your child. The child gets it in their mind that they want Pokeman cards...you say no and the child starts crying and pulling on you. They make a scene and you are very embarrassed. Well, amplify that by 200% and you have Monsieur Emile, screaming at the top of his lungs over who knows what exactly.

I miss the old days in California when I could drop the car off at Bubbles and they would clean the car in and out while I waited. Now, I clean the car myself at the 1 euro car wash...it takes about 4 euro to really wash the car and then 3 euro to vacuum.
