Scooby Doo says,


"Rood Runday Rafternoon!"





Mindy Peaches says....

"Ditto!"

Here,
sit a spell on this here bench in the shade.

If you don't mind, I'd like to talk about
Mindy Peaches.

---

Mindy Peaches  is
9 years old
and she is blind.

She went blind at the age of 7.

You can read about it here.

---

You can't tell right away that Mindy's blind.

She's a Beagle though.
A Beagle's life is their nose
and they are constantly sniff, sniff, sniffing, nose to the ground.

Constantly.

---

Mindy used to be on a real long chain where she could roam the driveway,
shop,
barn
and partially into a cornfield.

Here, she's burying one of her chew toys by Tim's shop.

---

But then she would also do this.



And dat not good.



Dat gets doggie kerplunked.

---

And we did not want our Mindy to get kerplunked.
So,
 
What to do? What to do? What to do?

Well,

we built a nice picket fence around the yard so Mindy could be safe and never have a near miss with a car again.

---

And then we kept building fence
 


and building fence...

---

Until she had an acre and a half to frolic in, out of harm's way.

We even left a 10 foot buffer strip around the property full of tall grasses and weeds....

---

so that she can feel like she's in
The Great Beagle Wild.

Roar.
I mean woof.

---

And we started a large brush pile
so that little critters can hibernate in there....

---

and all those little critter smells would gives hours of sniffing enjoyment to a nose sniffing Beagle.

---

There's plenty of shade to run around in...

And sun


to roll in.

---

When Mindy gets bored being in the field,

which is often,

she can freely meander up to the house and yard.

---

And she stays safe here because of this sign on the front gate.

---

If she doesn't want to come in the house or hang in the yard, she can freely snooze away in the summer kitchen.

---

But most of the time,
all Mindy Peaches wants
is to break free of the expensive (for us)
acre and a half playground.

And beg to be on the chain so she can go stare longingly at freedom.


And ponder ways to break free.

Silly doggie.
