7/31

Kookie out of pain pills so I had to go to the vet to get the prescriptions .. did a pit stop to take pics of the East Point Apartments for show n tell, then a ride around the park,  out to walmart, they didnt have em all so another stop at Kroger n finally a ride around the park.. 

Not much happens when we are not on top but I spied a bunch of people, saw a guitar n thought maybe they were singing some songs so like the bear that went over the mountain I walked over to check em out.

.Stopped at the park first time n Kookie did a low craw under the picnic table to get some droppings, then she was stuck, no food to inspire her to find a way out.

.Closeup of Kookie with the parkdwellers in the background... because of depth of field both can't be in focus so this is a composite.

When I walked over guess some of em knew me, thought I remembered a couple but things have been getting foggy. Some were praying n someone said I could take some pics anyway.. just did a few more.

Girl wanted to give Kookie some pets, I warned her, Kookie's leg is scary looking but she is the same silly  puppy, jumped up on the girl. A purple heart for another of Kookies victims.

Tickled me no one has made over her n a while.

My vision for this photograph, their whole gang with the big old tree in the background. In the future it would provoke thoughts when they saw it.

Kind of a church group? in my wishes .. they would sing one of their songs with their pal  playing his guitar.

Guess I don't get to capture my imagination pics in my lense.

This puppy was barking n having fun n I tried to capture em :)

On the way out I spotted our fb pal. Almost the same color close to the rock I got em up with the green background.. easier to see.

The guy in the Buckeye house across the park was out too.. some kids from the park pulled in beside me at walmart.. 

Never thought Kookie would make it to May, some suggesting it was her time to go.. I was gonna wait till my BD when I turned 80 on June 23d and end her existence on the 24th.. had an appointment but couldn't do it.. still being goofy, still bringing delight to people.

The girl who went over to meet her, .. 😋

I took Kookie for a ride. Between the tennis court and big pond , this time  the old tree fell all the way down. If this old tree had eyes and kept a diary.. the wonderful stories it would reveal.

In the fairgrounds taking pics with the telephoto, I turned to Kookie for this shot.. also saw a little dog running around playing but it was a blur.

Fedx supposed to pick up a home test .. n I have to go to the hospital for more test on Aug 2nd n case someone would be in the park then. (82 and sunny says the weather guy)

When I first stopped in the fairgrounds there was no one on top. Had the camera on the tripod, n came back later.. just tried to hand hold the big teley .. not so great but if you were on top might have captured you.

Outside of town by myself the only time I see the humans is when I go to do groceries or doctor stuff.. n Mt P. Very seldom have anyone come here but if it is nice when they get her, likey just underware on.. not much reason.. Kookie n me don't care.

Since her leg trouble I have been feeling sorry for her and taking her for a ride down to the bar and back.. 
In the same attire today.. thought I would just go to the park n put my old cutoffs on.. wasn't gonna get out... but saw a lot of police cars so thought me n Kookie should investigate.

Got some decent pics of the doings but won't post em. I just like to share stuff I think people might like, not sure what was going on here.

Other day must have been a big wind in town, nothing here .. hmmm.

Here I went for a sun ray shot, using the smallest apature and super close to Kookie with fill in flash.

Still kind of taking sunset pics from Mt Pleasant, just the bottom part.

I like to take pics that I can share with my unsuspecting models.. but I could sit on the bank and take pics of pups riding shotgun all day.

Got some pics of the people too but won't post em. With this many cars I guessed they were dealing with a motor cycle gang 😋

Wrapping Kookie's leg to keep her from licking it raw. Seems to work pretty well.

Never thought I would create a July page but Kookie is still with me.
Giving her lots of baths, I thught I would blow dry her on a ride to the park n back

Easy for her to get in when I park where she can walk in, it is really hard for me to lift her .. now.. barking on the way to town.

I saw one couple n their baby telling em about flash then a bit later I did a candid of em sitting on the other side of the pond.

Kookie whining as other pups walked by n the ducks r stuckup, only wanna be friends if u have food to give em.

Got a decent pic of the gazebo and a rider on the way to the top of the world. 

Hospital trip tomorrow, supposed to storm so not sure if Kookie will get to go.
