ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!  AGAIN!!!!  Oh, Max, if I didn't love you so much.  There we were about to set off on a 4 mile run, outside the gate, I was fiddling with my Garmin and he hears a rustling in the bushes.  Next thing ya know, PEEE-UUU.  Do I head off?  Do I bag the run?  Do I wash him now?  I opted for the hydrogen peroxide/dish soap wash ASAP, though I had prolly not enough.  Then set off for the run.  Sadly, he still stinks.  It did the trick but I didn't get enough on his snout.  I was smarter this time!!!  I put the solution in a bucket, and soaked a wash cloth and just totally annihalated his snout, head and ears where he got hit, but he still had eau de skunk.  Of course once off on our run, and into the park, he was soooooooo happy.  Ugh.  He's gonna smell for months.

Well, Hallelujah!  I cannot believe I didn't hack but a couple times this morning on my run!  I didn't even want to get up and go. This plague has been so annoying.  I used a facemask that has a filter so you're not inhaling the same air back.  I'm sure other folks thought I was nuts b/c it isn't that cold this morning, but I think that helped, along with a couple blasts of the inhaler.  I'm a little hacky now finishing breakfast but I'm just so excited to start to feel normal again!  And Max couldn't have been happier, we went through Gallup Park, the Prairie over at the Arb and back through the Furstenburg side of Gallup.  Off to Jewel Heart for what I'm sure will prove to be a relaxing and inspirational rest of my day for a all day lecture.
