Mike decided he needed to put a wire fence around the cactus plants, so I don't chew them all up. Fortunately they grow back. In this picture is the little wire fence he put up, as well as the plastic pot that is currently one of my favorite chew toys.
I'll continue to find things to chew.
On another note, Diane is sadly upset this morning. In my June 25, 2008 post titled "Adolescence" I mentioned the little black dog named Charlie who lives down the street. We hadn't seen him on our walks lately, but this morning during our walk we saw him across the street, running loose as usual. He seemed to be staying in the yards on the other side of the road. We kept walking and Diane tried not to look at him, too much. A pickup truck passed us going the opposite direction and when Diane turned around, she saw that the truck had run over Charlie. Apparently Charlie had tried to cross the road to follow us. He rolled a few times. Diane couldn't watch and kept walking. The truck slowed down and seemed to stop, but we don't know if the driver got out of the truck. A schoolboy and a man also saw what happened. Diane and I continued walking, since we don't know where Charlie's people live and Diane was sad. We walked our loop and saw another couple walking with their dog on a leash during the walk. When Diane and I passed the area where Charlie had been hit, there was no sign of the dog, but there was blood on the street. Diane wishes dogs would stay in their yards behind their fences or in their houses, when they aren't on their leashes with their people.
