The Sweetest Sound You Could Hope To Hear

 


Z and I took a stroll in Sarasota's Payne Park (* see below) last Sunday afternoon.

The father and I crossed paths.  I said "Hi Daddy".  He smiled and laughed.  My heart was full.

Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
