We finally decided to take the dog to the new park on Elm Street. It has a separate section for small breeds which is perfect for our little corgi. He usually gets nervous around big dogs, so this was a game-changer. We packed some snacks and stayed for about an hour. The benches are new too, which is nice, because we didn't have to sit on the grass. I think we'll make it a regular weekend thing.

It's about half a mile longer but has a great view of the creek. I heard they might add a water fountain for dogs next spring, which would be awesome.

I think I finally fixed that leaky faucet in the guest bathroom. It was just a worn-out washer after all. I watched a couple of videos online and decided to give it a shot. The hardest part was getting the old handle off without scratching the finish. Took about 20 minutes total. Water pressure is good now, no dripping. I'm glad I didn't have to call a plumber for something so simple. Next weekend I might tackle the squeaky door hinge upstairs. It's oddly satisfying to fix things around the house yourself. My neighbor said the key is to use the right lubricant, not just WD-40. He recommended a silicone-based spray, so I'll pick some up and give it a try.
