Just about every day (unless it's raining) Louie takes me for a walk along the waterfront at Crystal Beach and in the adjacent park under the oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. It's just minutes from my place.
- When he decides HE has had quite enough of that, HE will select a bench and will jump up onto it to signal HIS desire to rest. No problemo, on a sunny day I can happily sit and look out at the sailboats and enjoy the breeze off the Gulf right along with him.
- And besides, it's a GOOD day when this old man can tire out the puppy instead of the other way around.
We have met countless new doggie friends in our visits, and some human ones too. [The locals call this 'the dog beach.']
This past Monday we met two Latvian ladies who were enjoying the park, and who took quite a 'shine' to Louie.
- They eventually, albeit grudgingly, forgave my thickly German-accented Russian, thanks solely to his good looks.
Attached is the pic they took of him for me. [Whenever I try and take his pic, he 'senses' the camera and turns his backside to me. No comments needed re: how richly I deserve that ignominy, thank you very much. For whatever reason, he did not 'suspect' them or their smartphone of any mischief. Voila! A pic of Louie.]
Louie is lovely. He looks like a good boy.
