On the walk this morning, I saw Toby perk-up. Without look at what got his attention, I just said NO”, but he took it upon himself to go check a paper sack in the middle of the street. OMGs, TOBY! He was on the retractable for most of the 30min walk, but was released for the last few blocks.
*on the walk, I found what I thought to be a perfektly good Coleman Cooler. When I went back to retrieve it, I saw it was missing a handle. It was in such good shape otherwise. I chose to keep it.

God/dess Meditation: Donar;
Donar, Son of Wotan and Erda, husband to Sibba with the Golden Hair, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!
