Brian had a cow butchered a couple of weeks ago, and I promised to make him meatball subs. He wasn't the only one who showed up for the ground beef, tomato sauce, cheese and french bread combination last week.

Detox
I wish Charlie wouldn't give me so much to write about. Or, at least, he could choose less stressful adventures.
Last Saturday while I was out of town, Charlie ate rat poison. Dad and Logan rushed him to the vet where they induced vomiting and gave Logan charcoal to feed Charlie over the next twenty-four hours.
The rat poison that Charlie mistook for treats has no antidote. The best hope is to get it out of a dog's system as quickly as possible. The first twenty-four hours are critical, but, though less likely, the effects of the poison can mysteriously appear and cause paralysis or death a week or two later.
Saturday night Logan and Charlie had a sleepover during which neither got much sleep. When I returned Sunday afternoon, Charlie was tired and hungry, but otherwise appeared to be fine.

Evening walk
The weather yesterday was typical of an early spring day in Michigan. It was relatively warm, but it was raining and every inch of ground was gray, soggy, and wet. After I finished teaching for the day, I borrowed a pair of rubber boots and pulled out my umbrella and Charlie and I sloshed through a couple of laps on my parents' driveway. It was pathetic.
Then in the evening I noticed it had stopped raining and the sun was turning the sky incredible colors as it dropped in the west. So, I loaded Charlie up and we drove half a mile down the road to a side country road where we took a short evening jaunt. It was refreshing.

Beach
Lots of people go to the beach on spring break. I did too. My beach happened to have snow and ice, but that didn't keep Mom, Naomi, Charlie and I from having a delightful walk.
