That's a good suggestion. I actually just moved into a new apartment complex and although I wave to the people in the neighborhood (both older adults and younger ones (my age), they don't EVER seem to wave back. Granted, I live in the city, but a nicer neighborhood. I would think they'd want to be friendly. But to answer your question, I don't think there are many kids in the neighborhood. None that I have seen anyhow.

I did make a big effort to walk him about a half mile/mile yesterday before the rain moved in. I think that helped. I'm going to try and do it today. He's such a love. Sometimes I feel he deserves better than me.

You are right, I will try and play fetch inside. Maybe that'll help.
Thx about the name - no idea where it came from, but it seemed fitting! lol
