The bugs are out, yes sirree Bob, it's getting hot in the sandbox! All of that complaining that I did about winter and snow, I had forgotten that there was an upside...no stinkin' bugs. One had the nerve to crawl into bed with me last night. We mistakenly left the air conditioning on and I just about froze overnight. I guess one little creepy crawler did too. It was a huge rolly polly- thank the good Lord that those don't bite because everything (well, almost everything), bites in Afghanistan.
Today was a blast. We went down to watch the dogs getting trained to attack bad guys and the trainers even let the spectators suit up in these Pillsbury dough boy suits. They were directed to run and they would set the dog after them. It was good fun watching the dogs knock down these big beefy kids and gnaw the heck out of them. The trainers would walk over telling Fido what a good boy he was, while he's growling and biting the bedickins out of the pretend assailant. No one screamed like a girl, (which was a little disappointing), but I'm sure it was because all of their buddy's were there. They asked me to suit up..I said politely, "are you crazy?"
Dogs, we are having an influx of coyotes. One got on the base and I heard it said that it was the biggest dog ever seen. So, I went to check it out and asked vector where they were keeping it. Well, they never got it and it was a normal looking mutt. But I was told that they hang around by the garbage dump. Same place where I take my walks...no kidding! Guess I'll be finding another path. Good excuse! I did not need another thing to hamper my workout, but I thank the good Lord and count it as a blessing. I get enough of a workout dodging bugs and rocks and walking in the sandbox.
