Not sure if I'm dragging because of the gym, or the heat (we did reach 100 today) but I ended up taking a nap this afternoon.  Did finally turn on the A/C; the family room gets very toasty with the afternoon sun blasting through the shade.

Took Brownie for a walk this evening after dark when it "cooled" down (that's a relative term!) and he's doing better and better.  Except for trying to hide when he saw the leash come out he behaved quite well.  And he's no longer freaking out when he comes to the end of his leash and feels a little pressure; just takes it in stride. 

After the gym I had headed to ACE Hardware on 35th & Deer Valley to see about finding a new clasp for the gate - but it wasn't there any more!  Do remember seeing something about it closing, but had forgotten.  That's a bummer, partly because it was so close, and partly because it seems to be the only place whose key machine made keys that worked.
