Spring Green continued...

Yesterday Suki had a great time hanging her head out of the car window. She went with us to Spring Green and Baraboo. She was a very cooperative traveller, not complaining even when we stopped every five minutes and left her in the car.

We stopped at a nice little cafe in Spring Green. This place was recommended to us by the lady at the Bargain Nook when we asked if any place sold vegetarian food. We were surprised at the menu they had there. They had a lot of veggie food, in addition to the usual non-veggie fare. I had a hummus-veggie-baguette sandwich, which was pretty good. I think the hummus made a big difference. The baguette was quite Americanised - soft and white. Linda had some kind of cashewnut-chicken salad, while Suki had a bowl of water. Suki also had a small walk around the cafe.

From Spring Green we went to the Arts and Crafts World on Clyde Road, quite far from Spring Green and in the middle of nowhere. The woman that owned the place had been to Indian 27 times in the last 27 years! She knew a lot of places in India was spoke in glowingly positive terms about India. She seemed to really like India. She also said that - I don't know how far it is true - she went to the Indian consulate last year and asked for political asylum from the US! I'm pretty sure she wasn't serious even if she did ask for it. She'd even read "The Arrow of the Blue Skinned God" by Jonah Blank, which is one of the best books on India. Anyway, we looked at her collection of Indian, Indonesian and Thai artifacts. She had quite a big collection, although she didn't do a good job of marketing it. Suki waited in the car when we were there. She had another bowl of water before we left the "crafty" place.

We came back to Reedsburg via Baraboo. We said hi to Darwin and Fermi. Both of them seemed very glad to see us there, although it's very, very hard to tell with Darwin. Fermi purred very loudly either for me or for Suki, I couldn't tell since we were both sitting together. That was the first time I'd heard Fermi purr. Suki was so happy to go sit in her couch that she drooled.

Linda and I decided to go to a fancy Italian place in the Wisconsin Dells for dinner, so we left Suki at home. On coming back from dinner we had a surprise waiting for us. Both the cats were standing in the sun room looking quite panic-stricken. They seemed to say, "Hey, Chief! Come here and take a look at what the dog did today!!" They beckoned us to the dining room where on the carpet we found Suki had left us with generous amounts of black, smelly deposits in many places. All the donations were left on the carpet (of course) and they were quite smelly.

Thus ended Suki's day yesterday. She did not have any solid food yesterday. I think she wants to set a world record of some kind. We'll try again today.
