10/3: dogs

We don't have dogs, but I do like them. Chris has pointed out that whenever we see a dog, I'm 95% likely to say, "Oh, that's a nice dog." And dogs often run up to me, singling me out of a group to meet first. I also have fond memories of helping a friend with her dog-walking job over the Christmas holiday I spent in Athens. Here on the ridge, I'm in dog-luck. Lots of people have dogs, and many of them let their dogs run free in the neighborhood (we're outside the city limits so there's no leash-law). Often I have canine company as I walk on the ridge, and today one of the neighborhood's newest dogs--Scout, a border collie--kept Chris and me company for our entire walk.
