the ordinary lives of a boy, a girl, and a dog: 2015

(What Aaron told me after I beat him at a game.) We just went to Teahouse and ended up playing Connect Four. Out of the three groups playing on the tables outside, the words "sore loser" were uttered amongst two.

Also, went climbing at a gym for the first time, and took Sputnik to a dog park and watched him make a flying leap into the water feature and not re-emerge for about 5 seconds. A lady holding a chuck-it stick tried to rescue him by waving the stick in his general direction and looking very concerned. He eventually re-emerged, dragging his sinking Kim Kardashian butt, desperately dog paddling toward the edge.

This is somewhat a replay of three days ago, on his worst walk ever, which caused Aaron to threaten to return him to the shelter. It was at Herman Park, and he took a similar flying leap into a pond whose surface was obscured by water lilies. I assumed he did it because he thought it was some sort of newfangled grass. But maybe he knew it was water. In any case, he stirred up so much nastiness in that dank water that it smelled like fart as I pulled him out. Note the blank spot in the green...that's Sputnik's body outline.
