Mercury's Weekends: always a good time

Have you ever wondered what I do with my weekends? You might assume that, like the Dowager Duchess of Downton Abbey, dogs are indifferent to the weekend concept ("What--- is a weekend?" she inquired.) However, such is far from the case.

Week days are when I follow a routine: early to rise, AM walk, breakfast, an Acorn TV (Brit) movie, nap nap nap, PM walk, supper, a Netflix movie, nap nap nap, sleep for the night. Weekends are, by comparison, a whirl of activities. Of which this photo above signifies only a few.

Below you can watch this embedded viddy (don't worry, it's not really "post apocalypse," that's just Maman's little joke). Then follow the links below (Park 1 and Park 2) to catch just a few seconds glimpse of  each of various outdoor pursuits.

Park 1 (always a good time)

Park 2 (take me to your best friend's house)

Later, of a Saturday or Sunday, I may go for a long drive (in my double sun roofed Mercedes--more on that to come), stop by Five Points to shop for ingredients for cocktails and an al fresco meal. And later don my tux for an evening on the town.

In short, weekends are crazy times-- fun-filled, but hectic, a mad dash, a rush of company, community, sporting events and the seemingly ceaseless round of pleasure ! Thank goodness for the week days when I can relax, returning to the simple life that all dogs treasure as their greatest purpose and their absolute right.
