Dog days and orchestra

This (Friday) afternoon, we went to pick up our latest foster dog, Cooper. He's half Shetland Sheepdog ("Sheltie") and half... well we don't know but he looks a bit German Shepherdish to me. In any case, he (yes our first ever male dog) is the sweetest and best behaved dog imaginable. He's not really house-trained yet so we're keeping fingers crossed!

He came up from Tennessee starting out last Monday and after the two day journey and two day quarantine he was ready to be picked up today.

Meanwhile, Wednesday was our first orchestra rehearsal of the season. The program for the first concert of the year. We'll be playing Mendelssohn's 3rd (Scottish) Symphony and Richard Strauss' Four Last Songs. I don't really know the latter piece well, but I already love it after a few hearings of the CD that I just got. It's going to be a great concert!

(Sun morning)...

Well, Cooper has been a super dog -- no problems whatsoever. More on him soon, I expect. But for now, we're off for our balloon ride!
