10/31 Sunday
The lake
We mostly just hung out at the park all day. Bob went fishing; Ed worked on his tire monitoring system. Theresa and I took a nice long walk out to a CCC building by the lake. Sadly, on the way Molly got bitten by an ant and had to 3-leg it most of the way. I checked many times but could not find a wound or a sticker, so I'm concluding that it was the ant she stepped on. I know that the trail was marked by innumerable hills of big red ants, and I know that when she stopped, sat down, and started biting madly at her rear paw, there was a mangled carcass of an ant on the ground where the paw had been. But I never heard of an ant bite hurting that badly.
She went on that way for most of the walk, even after I let her cool it in the lake (and roll herself in the mud). But gradually she started putting pad to ground again. An hour later, it was over.
