Life with Dog

We dog sat twice this summer. Once on a weekend, and another time during the week. Her name is Lexi, and she is a terrier mix that looks just like Toto. I love her! And I like taking her for walks. Morning is my favorite time, when I have the most energy and the day is still pure. And it's v. nice to be out then. We walked the Promenade along the East River, which overlooks the east side of Manhattan and the bridges. "Don't Worry, Be Happy" popped into my head and I couldn't help but smile and hum away!

I also got to talk with many people in the nabe, both dog walkers and non dog walkers, who stopped to talk to me because of dear Lexi. One of the questions they always asked (if they had a dog themselves) was, "Is she friendly?" I thought, wow, I would love to be able to find that out about most people in life beforehand!
