The car was a bit full, so Lyn, Ardella and I found a seat away from everyone else.
Ardella settled in very well and seemed unaffected by the new experience of mass transportation. She slept with her head on my foot most of the way, except in this picture because I was the one taking it.
And this is where the pictures end. We got to Saturday Market and went our separate ways and planned to meet in an hour or so before boarding the MAX home. I haven't been to Saturday Market in years, and I was surprised about how much it had grown and how busy it was. We shuffled with the crowd through booths of handmade soaps, pottery, photography, bags, children's clothing, aromatherapy oils, batik, beads, jewelry, etc. and I made a quick reminder to myself that Saturday Market is where I need to go get goodies for my next round of swaps.
Unfortunately it was hot - not unbearably hot - but too hot for Ardella. Alas, she began to show signs of heat intolerance, so I bought a vegetarian sandwich at a food booth for me and got a cup of ice and a bottle of water for Ardella. She began panting a lot while I was in line and she had an accident of a very soft stool. We sat in a shaded area and fed Ardella ice cubes and then found our party and said goodbye. It had been planned if Ardella showed signs of heat intolerance that we would just leave, so we did.
We're now home, Ardella tanked up on water and is snoozing. I'm sure she'll be fine when she wakes up, but I'm disappointed that she couldn't tolerate the heat today.
