Lola with Broom; Abdiel's Leap

Today we had wonderful weather, and we all went for a walk at about 4:30 p.m. We ended up at the elementary school playground, where Lola enjoyed the slides. Lola asked if her dog Abdiel could come up and slide too. Abdiel is eleven years old, but he has always been an Olympian, and certainly puts to shame our three year old fatty-dog Star. Abdiel walked up the stairs with Josh's aid, and then slid about a meter down the slide. From about four feet up, he launched himself with his hind legs, in perfect form, six feet forward and down to a landing in the playground sand. As Bela would say, "He stuck it."--Kathryn
