Ozzie had a good weekend; we got in walks each day, on Sunday we even got in two walks and a trip to the recycling center. The extra walk was to go to a nearby ballfield and watch my old softball team practice; I "retired" from managing a summer coed slow pitch softball team that I had managed for four years. This will be my first year away from the team, and I will miss the summer softball, but it started taking more time than I was willing to give.

I fear we're taking for granted Ozzie's good health right now; it's so nice to see his "puppyness" shine through him. I read the web log of the dog Shadow who recently started treatment for cancer, and the road is a rough one for him and his owners. By comparison, Ozzie's path has been relatively smooth. I know our road ahead will not always be this easy, but it's nice while it lasts.
