Reece turns one!

Today is Reece's birthday! It's only noon, and she is already exhausted.

We dropped my car off at Firestone at 10. Lance followed me in his truck with Reece in the back seat. I got into the truck and we headed off first to Reber Ranch, which is a giant store that has stuff for farming, hunting, the outdoors, pets, etc. They also have a doggie playground.

So we went in the store first. Lance picked up a few things, including a bag of bulk treats. Then we went to the doggie playground, which has an agility course. Reece spent most of the time running around with the other dogs, but she tried a few of the apparatuses for the agility course. She's only a beginner, but she seems a natural fit for it.

I think she ran around there for about an hour or so. When she showed obvious signs of fatigue, we packed her back up in the truck and went down the road to Soggy Doggy, which is mostly a self-serve dog wash, but they also have a bakery. Since Reece just got a bath last week, I wasn't particularly interested in bathing her. But we picked up a blueberry muffin as her special birthday treat.

She just finished eating that a little while ago. Played a little bit with Lance. And now she's passed out on the couch.

It's coooooooooold today. I'm trying to thaw out now. Yeah, it's not bitterly cold like it is in the midwest and the East Coast, but we were dealing with a cold fog and temps in the low 30's. And I was out for a sustained period. So I'm a bit frozen.

Time for lunch. Firestone should have my car ready to go here shortly. We're actually not going to crate Reece for the short time that we'll be gone. Anxious to see how she does when left to her own devices.

And now she's going to wonder why she was so spoiled yesterday and everything is normal again today. Hehehe.
