Usual Mess

Our regular routine during this stay-at-home time isn’t all that different than our routine before, so Typhoon calls this his usual mess.

The humans may not be going out for their usual errands, but our routine has stayed mostly the same. We walk twice a day—morning and evening—for a total of about five miles a day. Hu-Dad says that amount of walking is good to keep the mischief at a minimum level, though Typhoon is still his usual mess.

Yes, I am doing my usual backward walking.

You may wonder if Typhoon ever has any mishaps with his reverse walking approach. We can say the usual thing happens—he gets caught up in Roscoe’s leash.

    We all need a Phooey right now! I love his backwards walking. He could be trying to “moonwalk”, and we just don’t know it! ????

    Chez Herd is lucky they are able to walk around outside. Mine are confined in our house area, not even allowed to walk around the gated compound yet. So they spend the day sleeping under the air con in my office (not as elegant yours) or by the pool.

A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
