A visit with some folks and a Ringo visit here

KD and I went to meet some people who might be interested in her on Saturday. It seemed to go well and they were nice. We will have to wait and see what comes of it. We went to the shelter for the rest of the day and on Sunday. It has been "Africa" hot. Dallas had 107, but we were still hot at 103. The dogs are laying in their pools and we are bringing them in early each day. I got a wild hair yesterday and decided that I would bring Ringo home again. He did pretty well the first visit. He of course is scared to be put in the car, but lay there next to KD. He was anxious to go into the house from the car and he and KD went in the back and chased each other around for a few minutes, but it was too hot. Ringo and KD growl and grab each other and generally play rough. She outweighs him by about 1/2 or more, but he will hold his own. Thank goodness that dogs have such thick skin because they were grabbing each others necks and scruff and rolling around. We went out for a walk and it was not easy not being tied up. We just had 6' leashes but it was a twist and turn. Ringo was pulling the whole time and KD was quite good. There were a few times they were pulling in opposite directions trying to get to sniff something, but overall, it went fine and it was still hot out, so in we came.
Unfortunately, the evening ended early as was a bit short tempered and Ringo kept marking the corners of walls and the door to my bathroom. After cleaning it up for about the 6th time, I decided that it was best if I just took Ringo back to the shelter for the night and I took it easy. KD seemed a bit lonely after that, but I was less upset, so we let it go.
