It simply doesn't get better than this, dear Es.
Met up with these Cardigan Welsh Corgis today at the dog park.
BARK!
Cousins! Just look at those tails...mercy.
Webster and Angel are true blue Corgis, but you know those snouts and tails (rather silly, in my humble opinion) set them apart. Not to mention their big feet! Janie had a good talk with their people while we played and barked and drank water 'til we couldn't anymore.
Webster was rather stand-off-ish, but Angel was ....angelic. (sigh)

Now, that boy in the picture here knew something.
Do you see that pitch?
He's got something going here.
He knows where to put it, so to speak.
The boy was sweet as sugar and sharp as a pin.
So attentive to my need to drink water and rest.

And Janie knows this boy! He will be back!
Not like those other dogs (ships passing in the night)
at the dog park.
So sad, but true.
Real relationships relate.
(astounding wisdom there, in case you didn't catch it Essie, dear)
Yes, this boy is a grandson of her friend, Sara.
He will be back! Dane is his name. Good kid.
He happens to love pitching the ball to me and petting me!
He doesn't even mind the messy, glop that happens to drool from me when I bring the ball back to him! Now THAT is a friend.

Take Care, Es! Miss you!!
