Waiting Patiently

Not much news to report on the construction front. We're waiting patiently for the construction permit (probably tomorrow) and the cement guy (this week?).

After waiting patiently for warmer weather, it was finally nice enough to get our flower pots out last Thursday.  Steve even mowed the lawn in Calumet again today. Here's a photo of Cocoa - waiting patiently for her beloved master to finish the job.

Cocoa absolutely loves going to the property with Steve. When she hears us in the kitchen getting our coffee in the morning, she excitedly jumps up to look into the kitchen window. She knows the routine:  2 dog biscuits and a good head rub from Julie, eat the biscuits and wait patiently to see what will happen next. You can see the disappointment on her face when she discovers that it's a "stay-at-home day." However, when she figures out that it's a "go-to-the-property day," she goes crazy! "Does Cocoa wanna go buh bye?" The kangaroo impression and the yelping begins! She can't wait to hop onto the bed of the truck.

Once in the truck, she settles down and waits patiently for Steve to get behind the wheel. As they get going, she stands up and moves from one side to the other - depending on what she wants to see.

I get such a kick out of watching them head down the street with Cocoa's tail wagging happily. She got an unexpected treat yesterday. Steve doesn't normally go to the property on Sunday, but he took the truck to the self-serve car wash and decided to take her along. She sniffed out the area while he washed the truck. What a good dog.

All is well in the Keweenaw.
