Konna was on duty protecting the house.

Brian, from Overhead Doors, called to say he had finished his previous appointment early and was on the way.  We were driving back from Jacksonville and should arrive about the same time as Brian.  Konna and Poppy (BDF) were in the house, on duty.  I told Brian to go ahead and get started if he arrived before us, the door was disengaged.  We got home an Brian was at work, Konna and Poppy met us at the door ready to charge into the garage.  A few back commands, and maybe the fact that the bag I was carrying had some left over Arby's roast beef in it did the trick, they backed into the kitchen.

Brian said he was dutifully challenged when he opened the garage door, and for some time afterwards.

After their treats Poppy headed for the bedroom with Carol and Konna and I went out to talk with Brian.

Brian agreed to a picture with Konna.

Tuesday, no dogpark, so we went downtown this evening.


Stopped by La Torres for our treat, Steve was on the phone so Dad had to take us in to get the cookies.  Then he was slow given them to us.  I jumped up to tell him I wanted mine, Ms. Poppy did the same.  We got our cookies.

Amelia Fine Jewelry was closed and there were no cookies left on the ledge.  On the way back to the car we met Kate, from Columbus, Ohio.
