As usual, I haven’t written much lately.  Work’s been busy, the man burns in just over 16 days, yadda yadda yadda.  Truth is, I still could have written more, but didn’t.  My bad.  Today I will write that I just saw a dog (way up on the hill) that was out for his very first walk.  It seems that nowadays puppies aren’t supposed to go out in the world until they’ve had (at least?) their first round of “puppy shots“.  So he was several (six?) weeks old, and bouncing and scrappy and happy.  Just flipping out at the breadth and diversity of the world, and the scenery, and the other dogs, and the other humans…  Fun to see a great spot through fresh eyes, even fresh pooch eyes.  Especially fresh pooch eyes?  The dog’s humans were also loving the walk.  They said that he was their first dog (as a couple, anyhow?), and so in a way it was their first walk, too.  I look forward to a first-dog-walk day someday.
