Last night I saw Pippin, clicking along on his chiclet feet, nose in the air as if we'd never met. It's like starting from square one everyday with that dog.
His human was as friendly as ever. He walked towards me to chat, stuck his hand out in greeting. This was a new move. I gave Pippin the side eye, and received an almost imperceptible nod - was that a nod of allowance? Tentatively I reached out to shake the human's hand. He shook my hand, smiled and turned continuing his walk.
I swear I heard a double chirp, helium-like bark as they walked away, the cadence and notes sounded almost like, "Good boy."
Noooo…
but maybe?
