The neighbors on either side of us are having fun but we
are stuck in a rut. Ted doesn't feel like going out and
I am taking care of the adorable Mandy, Bobby and Ellie's
little Yorkshire terrier while they are trying to have
fun at a State Lodge.

Mandy is so lonely and I can't bring her home with me
because Rex would demolish the little thing. I go over
four times a day and take her out and then bring her in
for a thirty minute cuddle. She isn't eating or drinking
much and I feel immensely guilty when I leave her.

I have managed to get a mile walk in early in the morning.
It is already dreadfully hot here. I like to get out by
6:45. It is much more pleasant.

The best to all of you. I am alive and well in Dullsville.
