An Outing

We all went to the forest preserve after dad got home today. There was so much to smell! I stopped every few steps to sniff the ground and the trees and sticks and the areas that were burnt. There were a lot of burned areas. It was dry, though. We came here last year and it was all flooded and couldn’t walk very far down the road. We walked down next to the river, but the ground was all dirt and dead stuff. I liked it, but my humans didn’t.

During the car ride, they put the window down for me. I stuck my head out – oh what joy! Wind and so much to sniff!
