Long run today on Lower Don Valley Trail. First time this year on this trail. Took Bud to the vet for dental surgery - see last two photos. Will need to be home next few days monitoring his recovery. Forecasted rain didn't happen on the run as it was cloudy and humid (32C). That's okay as I don't like the blazing sun.















Little man, Bud, returned to me after dental surgery to remove 3 teeth. He also has ear infection. Recovery will take a week. 
Why is Bud sitting in the driver's seat. Wouldn't let him drive - he just had surgery!

Didn't know there is a midway at the Taste of the Danforth! A "Don Cherry" dog!

The chicken and pork souvlakis are cooking as is the corn!


At the right is Second Cup - where the shooting occurred. 

My past life as a mathematics teacher - would be great to use this for statistics!
