This has been a fast but fun house sit. We have enjoyed this area, and Samee has been such a sweetie. Although not really a cuddler, she loves to rub up against your legs at feeding times, sit near us on the couch, and she could chase the laser all day.
Yesterday, we drove to the small community of Mound, Minnesota, to walk another part of the Dakota Regional Rail Trail and see another part of this lovely, lake-filled area. Mound has one of the few trailheads with parking along the trail. Mound is a city in western Hennepin County (so closer to the Twin Cities). It’s about 18 miles from Waconia, has a population of about 9,000, and Wikipedia tells me that is also home of the Tonka truck, named after Lake Minnetonka, one of many lakes surrounding Mound.
This morning I ran on the trail closer to Waconia. What a great resource! Tomorrow, we have a call/interview for a possible house sit next year. We will be doing it at 6:30 am since the couple is in the UK. Our homeowner will likely be back to the house by then or shortly after, so we’ll likely be headed off by 8 am.
