Vermont, days 2 (part 2), 3, and 4
Jun. 28th, 2009 09:28 amAfter visiting the Dog Chapel the other day, David and I headed to a couple nearby towns to find some places where his family were buried. So yes, more time in cemeteries. It wouldn't be a trip to Vermont without going to a cemetery! I think I forgot to include that early on this day David twisted his ankle. I thought it was going to be something minor, but I'm fairly certain it's a sprain. His whole foot and ankle are swollen and it's really black and blue. He's still hobbling and in a bit of pain.
At any rate, cemeteries.

The next day (Friday), we went to Franklin, NH so David could take some pictures of the town. Usually we have a nice time walking by the river, but his foot was hurting pretty bad so instead I just drove him around the neighborhoods so he could take photos and not walk far. We had a nice lunch in town and then headed to Concord so he could check some things at he library (a bust, unfortunately, as the room was closed). I ended up at Petco with Dahlia for a little while before picking him back up. Overall it wasn't THE most interesting day for me (and no pictures!), but it had to be done.
Yesterday David spent the morning wandering around town taking pictures while I read. At one point I had to move my car so David's Dad could get out. Dahlia snuck out with me, got into the car and would NOT get out. Not for anything. Not when I tried to coax her out with treats or when I went into the house without her. She was pretty sure I was getting her out of the car so I could leave her behind. Poor girl. I ended up lifting her out of the car. Yes, all 52 lbs of her. Ouch. She's heavy!
After David returned and we had lunch, the three of us went up to Minard's Pond to putz around a bit. We wanted to get Dahlia back into the water and she did go in some. I tried to get her to swim by holding her out where the water was deeper. It didn't go so well. LOL I'm not sure how to get her to try swimming. Maybe I just have to let her go in the water there and see if she can make her own way. Or maybe not. Ah well. I thought she would be pissed at me, but she climbed out of the water and then crouched down in a half play bow. She was ready to play! Adorable. We threw the ball and the bumper some and she chased them. And I took her for a walk in the woods. All together, it was a nice relaxing day.
