Here is Melanie, chatting with her mom.
She steps into the hall, to chat with me.
Her visit is all too short. She turns back, to hug her mom goodbye.
I take a walk. Two little black dogs come charging, yapping, yelping, barking at me. "Get back here! Get back here! Right now!" their man shouts.
I sing out. "Here pups! Here pups! Come see me, pups!"
They make it to me. I scritch their ears. The man retrieves them. The three then take a few seconds to pose for a picture and then the man takes them back to the house. I walk on.
*Cocoon mode: Until I finish up a big project that I am working on, I am keeping this blog at bare-minimum simple. I anticipate about one month.
