We got up around the usual time and after the cold water treatment and putting on some clothes, were ready to go out walking and face the day. Mikey and I wandered around and I couldn’t help to notice just how different it is walking just one dog instead of two. All the more reason to find Mikey another buddy as soon as possible. Actually, I need another dog to help boost my grief over losing Sandy but am having trouble locating one that appeals to me. I am not looking for a pedigree dog but rather one that is like a Maltese Mix if possible.

I was looking on the web perusing the different sites out there and came across one that has a lot of dogs many of which would be fine buddies for me and Mikey but in many cases, the starting price was well over $2500.00. I expect to pay something but certainly nothing in that price range which was the low end as the prices went up to over $5000.00. I have never heard of anyone paying that sort of money for a dog!

It was a quiet day as I continued my search. I drove to a couple of Pet Shelters but they both had only big dogs. The small ones were in foster homes and required an appointment to view them. Incidentally, I have made contact with a couple of foster parents and am waiting to hear back from them.

I did some grocery shopping on my travels and then returned back to the RV to take Mikey out walking again. I hate to leave him alone but it is too hot to leave him in the car and I can’t leave the motor running while I’m looking or shopping.

The rest of the day was spent in the usual way.
