I've been derelict. You deserve pics of the boy. It has been raining like a sonofabitch so some days all Smokey got by way of exercise was a fetch session in the nearby park. The middle of the field is standing water. I won't step on it because I sink in so much. But Smokey doesn't care. He just wants the ball and he never wants to stop. He was so coated in mud, outside and inside his mouth. The creek provided a quick clean up before bringing him home.
