Note
kind of a rest day - did not sleep well AT ALL, and thus cannot tell if lethargy is just exhaustion or the start of my version of D's cold. But a very nice rest day it was. Will p/u alfie at the airport tonight after his golfing in CA, take G with to expand her horizons by walking about in the airport. see how long/if we get busted for dogs-in-airport. We've seen dogs in there presumably enroute to or from a crate in an airplane, who's to know G isnt just like them?
