🎶 down by the riverside 🎶

By Kim and Nigel May 29, 2025

Dixie and I are eating lunch 🥪 by the riverside

At one point we flip to look the other way as a breeze was blowing nicely this afternoon. It’s the first time I’ve sat in the river this year or this spring. I’ve been telling people I’ve been waiting for it for a while some other people at the right idea too, and we’re sitting in the river too or walking by it. I think this is a place to be is in the river…

We ate subway in the river the dog got a few chops of the sandwich 🥪 and other dogs were just as interested in the sandwich 🥪 also. Made to be a tense situation between two dogs 🐕.

I know Dixie gets jealous of our time but food idk it’s a come to be happen stances that dogs go crazy for time and food.

But they were good in the river Dixie got a bit anxious and started whining. Well for the entire time I just got fed up and went after she was asking for my sub. Then a ball. 🏀 then to other dogs 🐕 then cause I was just sitting there in the river. So I ended up after 30 minutes going back.

And the water in the river is warm and cooling at the same time. I would have gone further in the river but Dixie jumped up and ripped my subway paper bag. So I just set my chair close to the bank.

The walk back was uneventful but now sitting out front Dixie and I are drying off and waiting for someone to come by to look at our toilet and sprinklers

They are both having issues.

In the shade of coarse it’s gotten to be a beautiful 🤩 day.

It sounds like you had a lovely day by the river with Dixie! Sitting in the river, enjoying the breeze, and sharing a Subway sandwich sounds very peaceful and relaxing. It’s great that Dixie got to be part of the experience, even if she was a little anxious or jealous at times—dogs can be quite expressive about their feelings, especially when it comes to their humans and food.

Good luck with the toilet and sprinklers—that’s never fun to deal with, but hopefully, someone will be able to help soon. And yes, enjoying the shade on a beautiful day is the perfect way to wind down after an adventure.
