Ziggy is in a quiet mood today. The walk this morning seems to have
been hard on her somehow, and she is not her usual vivacious self. This
does make it easier for studying and I'm sure she'll rally. It makes
no sense to me how the heat is so hard on a dog that is specific to this
region, bred of Indian dogs from red wolves over hundreds of years.
Well, we all do love our air conditioning.
After writing that, she rallied - at nearly precisely the time I get home from work most days. We are in sync. And I said, "Do you want to help me get the laundry?" and she danced around as she does, and I said, "And we can play some frisbee."
When we got outside (stifling heat, no shade in my backyard), Ziggy ran across the yard and picked up a frisbee and brought it to me - before I even left the courtyard, she had dropped it and stood back, ready to pick it up. She's never done this before, so I think saying the word triggered it. She is such a smarty pants, such a darling.
