My wife and I went to the coast for our 50th wedding anniversary. While she went in to do some shopping, I opened the hatchback and sat with our Lab, Vicky.
A family came by with a 2 or 3 yr old girl.
The girl obviously wanted to touch Vicky.
Her mother said: "Ask the man if you can pet the dog"
This tiny little girl looked up at me and said:
" May I please pet your pretty dog ?"
Of course I said yes, and she did.
Then her mom said it was time to go.
The girl smiled at me and said:
"Thank you very much for letting me pet your dog."
A teenage couple came by and the girl started cooing over Vicky
The boy said: "Please tell me your dog is a fake"
And the girl snapped back:
"You owe me a puppy... remember last night ! "
Then a woman came by and said:
"Hi beautiful"... a pause ... "and your dog is pretty too ! "
I was befuddled and couldn't even speak.
She laughed and said: "Can I give you a treat ?"
She opened a bag of dog treats from her cart and gave one to Vicky.
She laughed again, and we both turned a few shades of red.
For this 75-yr old fart, it was a fun morning.
