Tessa's New Adventure

Today is Labor Day weekend already.  Where did the summer go?!

Since this morning was cool enough, Tessa went to breakfast with us at L130.  The driveway is gravel and every time someone drives by, it creates a ton of dust, so we have chosen to eat inside.  Tessa waited in the truck, with a nice treat.

At home, I cleaned and filled the birdbaths, filled the birdfeeders and watered the front garden.  Bill went to Lowes to get a new clip for Tessa's black leash.  We are hoping to avoid a repeat of our last excursion, where the leach came loose!

We left around 1:00 and drove to Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth.  As senior Maine citizens, we don't have to pay an admission fee.  Woohoo!  One of the perks of getting older. ;o)

We found a nice table on the back side of the path along the rocks and settled in with our two chairs, two bags and cooler.  We purchased a travel mat for Tessa to lay on, covered it with a towel and gave her another tasty treat.  Our plan was to sit and read but we were both keeping an eye on her along with people and dogs walking by.  

She was so good.  She doesn't really care about other dogs,  is excited to see them and really wants to say "hi" and play.  The only noise she made was to whine when other dogs passed her by.  She would trot to the end of her leash but didn't lunge or pull.  She loves seeing people and would be happy if every single one stopped by to pet her.  

We stayed for a couple of hours, had a snack and gave her another treat (she's going to weigh a hundred pounds if we aren't careful...hahaha).  I did get a couple of chapters read in "The Terminal List" and Bill tried to take a nap.  He took her for a nice walk around the area while I got things packed up.

We stopped at Starbucks on the way home for iced coffees and a puppachino...whipped cream in a cup for the dog.  

It was a perfect day, lots of sun and blue skies and comfortable temperatures in the mid 70's.
