Truly's 10th Birthday
Truly said he understands why he hasn't had much face time on the blog and he gladly deferred to Walker's illness. That's how Truly is - unassuming, patient and kind.
My best boy, Truly, on his 10th birthday. |
First, we took him out BY HIMSELF! That's a special treat because he got all the attention. We went to Tail Spin - a pet store that opened last summer. It's near our house so we could walk.
Truly being admired by people inside the adjacent store. |
Checking things out. |
More stuff to smell. |
After drying off, we picked out his birthday treats and left for a nice, long walk. This is the cool shoulder bag the Tail Spin staff gave him in honor of his special day. |
Past the court house. |
Crossing the street. |
When we first adopted Truly, I took him for a walk on this street. We passed by these purple lions in front of the florist. They terrified him. Now he says, "Pffft -" |

Truly says, "Come ON, Mom!" |
Sawyer says, "Come ON, Mom!" |
Truly loves to pass by the Rookery. People sitting on the patio always pet him. |
My favorite steak place, the Downtown Grill. |
More good restaurants in The Alley. |
Me with my smiling boy in the park. |
Truly loves his Tilapia strips. I love that they have glucosamine and chondroitin. |
Now for a birthday nap. |

"42"
Our community has been successful in getting production companies to film TV shows and movies here. Clint Eastwood was in town late last year to film parts of "Trouble with the Curve."
The production companies seem to like the historic ball field - which is nice since we can't seem to sustain a baseball team.
Clint was in town for several days. I'm not sure about Amy Adams or Justin Timberlake.
Last night the movie "42" premiered in Macon. Some of it was shot here. The story is about Jackie Robinson's integration of baseball in 1947. The movie company used the ball field, a city block and a couple of homes.
Overnight Third Street became a late 1940's Brooklyn, NY set.
So what does this post have to do with Those Brindle Kids? Check this out:

Chadwick Boseman was here. |
Harrison Ford was here. |
So was Christopher Meloni - Sawyer's "Law & Order: SVU" favorite. |
See the green screen behind the lady? |
The production crew had to post someone to watch the display. The vegetables were real and obviously too good for some spectators to pass up. |
News Stand |
Small's Department Store is really the Greek Corner Deli. Best gyros in town. The existing businesses stayed open most of the time closing only during the actual filming. |
This is a pizza place.. |
Sandwich shop. |

You didn't think I could do it, did you? :)

It's a Beautiful Day in Those Brindle Kids' Neighborhood
Yes, it was a beautiful day today. Walker continues to improve - though trying to give seven medications to a spooky greyhound three times a day is . . . . challenging - for us and him.
The medication issue doesn't stop Walker from enjoying his favorite activity - sunbathing. |
He uses the landscaping fiber as a comfy dog bed. |
Maggie likes sunbathing, too. She has to wear the muzzle because she still can't/won't stop eating leaves. |
Maggie is trying to convince Walker to eat some leaves. |
Maggie says, "Eat some of these, Walker! The boxwoods are especially tasty this time of year." |
Walker says, "No, Maggie. That would be wrong." |
Good boy, Walker! Maggie is defeated.
