chanur, Ross and I were out of town visiting relatives yesterday
morning. The dogs were trapped in the house. I owe them a fairly long
walk today....
The dogs and I would vote against the Botanical Gardens as an
alternative grex walk location, but we don't have veto power. If other
people want to go there, I could leave the dogs at home. Or the dogs
and I could walk someplace else instead that day. Not a major problem.

The first party into Bird Hills Park today was danr, aruba, Carol,
Raisa and krj. The second party, leaving about ten minutes late,
was kaplan, chanur, Ross, Mutsie and Barney. Footing was rather
muddy, requiring us to keep our noses to the trail -- Carol expressed
regrets that we couldn't look up at the trees while we walked.
As Ross was being carried, his family couldn't make time to catch up with
us, and chanur also said they were worried about the muddy footing,
so they abandoned the walk at the road crossing into Kuebler Langford Park.
I'd hoped that Barton Dam would be doing its springtime impression of
Niagara Falls this week, but the river flow is not especially high:
only five of the ten gates were open. Still a bigger flow than
usual.
Both walking parties converged on Kai Garden for the debriefing, losing
danr and the canines as usual, and gaining scott. Kai Garden is
somewhat more expensive than most of the places we go, as there are
no lunch specials, but it is awfully good, especially if you like tofu.

I got a monster headache this evening that kept me from being able to go
out. I wonder if it was the MSG, or something else.

I got one too. I think mine was the huge chocolate Hershey's Kiss I ate this
afternoon.

I took Arlo to a birthday party this morning and afterwards we were all too
pooped to go the Grex lunch. Too bad. For no rational reason, I'm eager forr
Ross and Kendra to meet.

John wanted to go on a walk, but was uncomfortable about having to keep
up with a group. So he and I went to Gallup Park in the afternoon and
did the walk there, up to the big mound of wood chips.
We saw a lot of people, many with dogs. One couple had a bassett
hound. John's fascinated by bassett hounds, and so we talked to them,
and then they let him give the dog treats, and after that they let him
walk her for a while.
So there was kind of a third walk, at the wrong place and time.
I'll try to come to the regular walk next week when I won't have John.

Re #31: Hmmm. I ate some chocolate too. I didn't know that could give
you a headache.

I get migraines. Dr said to give up chocolate and caffeine as both are often
triggers for migraines. My migraines are usually hormonal, but that shouldn't
have been a factor for this one (I still have it, yuck).

Chocolate contains a chemical very similar to caffeine and they both cause
blood vessels to constrict, which can trigger migraines.

If Spring starts to actually spring I'm going to try to make it to the
walk.
How friendly to other dogs are Mutsie and Barney?

We've had various other dogs on the walk, and usually meet a few during the
walk. There have never been any problems.

resp:37 The tiny little lap dog that lives a few doors down from us
gets quite irate when Mutsy and Barney are around. Our dogs do not
reciprocate. In fact, they don't give that neighbor dog the time of
day. Mutsy and Barney rarely show aggression around other dogs, and
when they do it's quite mild.
resp:32 I don't think Ross is likely to know that there's another baby
around, but it sure will be fun for Arlo and the adults to see Kendra
and Ross together. Maybe we can drop by your house this week. I'll
send you an e-mail.

re #39- I ask because if I manage to make it I'll either try to drag my
roomie and her dog with me, or see if I can borrow the dog if she
doesn't want to go. She's a 45 lb Border Collie sweetheart- and
friendly to other dogs (though we swear she flirts with the boys (even
though she's fixed)).

Heh, she's a lot more outgoing with other dogs- and when her territory
isn't being invaded. :p

Hey Sindi - how come they put caffeine in some headache medicines (like
Excedrin) if it makes your blood vessels constrict?

Because it does help headaches a bit.

When I was a kid with Migraines, the doctor put me on medication and told me
to take it with Pepsi, because it had a higher caffeine level than Coke.

My current migraine prescribed med (Axert) is a blood vessel
constrictor. If I'm remembering correctly- part of migraine/headache
can be due to the blood vessels constricting and stretching wider, so a
throbbing headache really is a throbbing headache. If those blood
vessels are told to stay at a more usual constricted size- then the
pain can lessen (or go away).
