Let it not be said that I don’t pick up my fair share of admiring glances and passing comments – invariably positive – when the mistress and I are out and about! Yes, I can often be the catalyst for a smile, come rain or shine.
But tonight’s walk just seemed to be questions, questions, questions. And love! Several people stopped the mistress to ask her all about..me!
I don’t mind.
It was quite gratifying for a Monday evening; people are out and about doing their Christmas shopping and maybe they are mellowing as the Christmas countdown continues.
London’s streets are emptying (with the exception, I imagine, of Oxford Street), particularly as most schools have now broken up for the holidays. But there are still many tourists and foreigners who will be spending their Christmas here in the capital.
One such couple – not from the UK – begged the mistress to let them stroke and pet me! Yes, feel free; I love all that affection and attention.
Anyway, it made us think; what about those poor people – far from home – who may be missing their own precious pooches and want some love that only we dogs know how to give?
Well, one thing they could do is volunteer at somewhere like Battersea Dogs Home; you could be taking various hounds out for a walk in the park nearby and generally getting a dog fix for free while helping a very good cause, too.
So, if something is in the air that is making mankind more generous, let’s have more weeks like this.
Do the right thing. You know you want to.
Woof Woof
