My Perfect Running Partner

Lilo!!! Who knew? That dog is amazing. I decided with my extra time today to get a bit of a jog in. Lilo set the perfect pace, enjoyed breaks, and made running as fast as I physically can fun. Yep, that's what I said- FUN! I was literally giggling. We went in a big loop around my neighborhood. It wasn't a long walk, I would have gone longer if I hadn't forgotten water... but hey! It's a great start! I think I'll work on it all summer. We'll go earlier in the day so her feet don't get so hot. And I'll bring water for both of us, I forgot that one today... not smart. But the neighbor kids had a lemonade stand! After I put Lilo in her pen, watered her up, and gave her a serious belly rub, I grabbed some cash and gave those kids the tip of their lives. It felt so great :) {the lemonade, and probably the tip too} A cute big brother (9? 10?) was laying down in the shade, just enjoying his time on this planet. His little brother and sister were running around ringing a bell, holding a sign: 'Lemonade, 25c' and yelling "LEMONADE! LEMONADE!!!". It was way too cute to pass up. Yes, another woman was lost in that instant to the "cute tactic" that many young sales people employ. Well, when I came back with my 2.00$ for that 25c cup of crystal light, the big brother gazed up from under the umbrella and said "Thank you. It's for the kids' future. I'm their manager. I don't need the money anymore." Well, having experience with my brothers, my brain put on its sassy pants and I thought: mmmhhhmm. You is gonna take all of that good money, aint you punk? I seen the likes of yous before. Yeah, don't judge, my sassy self has bad grammar, (some of it leaks through sometimes but meh! what can I say.). Anyway, it was a great day, and a great start.
