It's like August out there today. Brilliant blue sky, hot in the sunshine, and yes, the annoying insects are back.
Yesterday I kept Max's rug off when I turned him out, but went back to him later to rug up because the nights have been quite chilly. The minimum temperature tonight is set to be about 15 degrees Celsius, so no need to sneak back to the yard to make sure Max is warm enough. Happy nekkid Max with his nekkid mates out under the hot sun and the bright moon.
Max went for a long walk with his friend, the Ent, yesterday. It was quite charming really, as they hadn't seen each other for over a week, and whilst the Ent went about his business on the yard, Max watched him with an eager expression. I think Max had missed him!
He was fairly well behaved except for a little al fresco grazing and the odd stop and hard stare at nothing in particular.
Today we just did some work with our version of lunging on his Dually. It's not true lunging, and in just the Dually I'm certainly not getting him into any kind of outline, but it doesn't matter. It's just for exercise and lots of breaks for praise and wither scratches. It was hot enough, and Max furry enough with his incoming winter coat, to work him into a light sweat.
It looks like we have a week of Indian summer ahead of us, and it's very welcome indeed. Tomorrow my Canadian friends and family will be celebrating Thanksgiving. Just another day for Max and I, no long weekend, no pumpkin pie and certainly no turkey, but lots to be thankful for, there's no doubt about that!
