My alarms goes off at 4:30am and I begin evaluating life choices. Knowing I do not want a repeat of yesterday’s heat walk, I call over to Blitz and ask him if he wants to run a 5K. His answer is always YES!
Baxter watched with anticipation in his eyes which soon turned into confusion since we have never put a lease on just one husky before. As I was locking the front door, the most horrific howling commenced from my living room window. Continuing to hear his cries of orphan hood an entire block away, I regretted leaving the window open for the cool morning breeze. Good morning neighbors, just me going out for an early morning run, pay no attention to the screaming husky pup!
I turn up the tunes and let Blitz lead the way. He loves his one on one time with his humans. Since Baxter, his life has been one that can be understand only by those who are an only child that now has a baby brother.
We run along his very familiar 5K route and I am filming and chatting into the camera (what must people think?). When I go to put the camera back into my shorts pocket I realize something is missing. My house key must have fallen out when I pulled the camera out several minutes earlier. A wave of panic comes over me. I immediately made an about face and hysterically begin running back over the path I had just ran. Blitz thoroughly perplexed because he knows where the turnaround point is and THIS IS NOT IT! Thankfully there was no one out at this time of the morning and I didn’t have to go too far until a shiny object caught my eye. My house key, right there in the middle of the sidewalk.
We continued our run and head back to the house. When I opened the door, everything seem fine. UNTIL I realized I didn’t shut tight the bathroom door. My new sonicare toothbrush, a hand towel and several makeup brushes barely survived the wrath that is Baxter.
All in all day 3 went fairly well. Closed all my rings by 4:30pm.
