This morning, as Lizzy and I rounded the usual corner in our trail walk, we came upon a hillside occupied by cattle, the same that we've been meeting up with in different parts of our walk in recent weeks.Lizzy, of course, was riveted but this ended up being less interesting than meeting up with her boyfriend, Max, a black lab-mix whose right ear is always in the upright position, and her pal, Cassey, the beautiful golden retriever of a neighbor and colleague.
That encounter, which we look forward to most mornings even though we don't always all coincide on the trail, was so exciting that Lizzy was literally leaping in the air for joy.
Today's happy walk was a highlight in an otherwise very long and tiring day, and I'm thankful that it's over and the weekend has begun.
