Altro Giorno

Frio and Willow exploring the forest

We decided to stay another day, and it got started with Willow and Frio chasing Coop off of our property and back into Fabian's.  Willow returned first, followed by Frio a short while later.  But Frio made a return venture into our neighbor's property followed close behind by Willow.  She came back right away, but we had to wait for a tardy Frio.

We then began our hike into the forest around our cabin, deciding against punishing our knees by climbing to the crest of the steep hill southwest of our place.  Since the Heelers had already gotten lots of exercise we weren't worried about doing an extended trek.

When we got back I vacuumed the kitchen/dining room and then used the Bona mop to clean the bamboo floor.  Now I'm as pooped as a Heeler pup.
