Cudjoe Walk 1

I generally carry a motorcycle magazine or the newspaper when I walk Cheyenne these days. In winter she romps, in summer she paces sedately. Then she stops, pants and finds a patch of shade.I look around, enjoy the view and read a few paragraphs, contemplate my mortal coil and generally feel good about being with my dog. I sunbathe, she shade bathes and we pass the time. Cheyenne seems to really enjoy sitting and watching the streets as much as actually walking when the temperatures are this elevated. I don't think Cheyenne notices the decorative details I see when we're out and about. One day I want a sailfish like this on the side of my house. I wonder if my wife would agree. It would be rather ostentatious for someone like me who doesn't even fish. The calm days of summer aren't quite here yet, we are still getting winds blowing from all points of the compass but the canals are nice and flat. This next picture is your classic Lower Keys palace, a nice big lot, stilt house, and room to park an RV with a canal in back. Who could ask for anything more?
Cheyenne was shade bathing as this Sportster came blatting round the corner.

That's what Cheyenne loves to do when it's hot, just sit there and watch the world go by. A serene way to spend a baking afternoon.
