Yesterday, Homer and I had a date for a picnic with Elizabeth, Jonathan, and the McHargs at Emma Long Metropolitan Park. I told my co-workers that I was going to try to leave at noon and to save even more time, I took Homer to work with me. Since it was Friday, that meant that we started our day at Town Lake at 7am for a 3 mile run. He's a great trail dog. Homer was very good at the office. He spent the entire morning laying down under my desk and he only barked at one of my co-workers...though he did bark at that co-worker every time we saw him.
I couldn't get off work until 1pm so everybody was just about ready to leave by the time I got there. I did get to visit with Archie and Jessica for about an hour...we definitely need to do more with them...and I got to play with Jonathan in the lake. I was amazed that Jonathan didn't even have his feet wet when I got there. They had been there since 11am or so. I'm very pleased to report that he was soaking wet by the time we packed up to head home. I would carry Jonathan out into the lake and Homer would chase after us, trying to herd us back to shore. As always we had a great time together.
