Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2004. We took Mattie to Roosevelt Island and as you can see he found some dandelions along the way. This was a tell tale Mattie sign... he always found objects in nature to collect, carry on his walk, and bring home with him. I think this photo was down right precious! A happy boy with his dad. Notice the red socks.... Mattie gravitated to red and he looked so cute in it.
Quote of the day: It was such a spring day as breathes into a man an ineffable yearning, a painful sweetness, a longing that makes him stand motionless, looking at the leaves or grass, and fling out his arms to embrace he knows not what. ~ John Galsworthy
As you can see Sunny was patiently waiting for me to get ready this morning to take him for a walk. NO pressure!!! As Sunny becomes acclimated to us, more of his personality comes out. He herds and follows me ALL day long. I have to admit it is disconcerting at times, which is why his previous owner gave him up. But Sunny is a sweet heart and truly just wants to be part of the family. But this sight this morning just made me laugh.
Sunny and I had multiple walks today and all I can say is..... people seem happier with spring like weather. I had more people say hello and stop and talk with me today. In fact, Sunny made a friend with a dog named, Lucy, by the waterfront. Lucy is a rescue as well, from the same shelter as Sunny! They got along great and followed each other for part of the walk. But I can't tell you the conversations I had today..... two women stopped me because they were having a reunion and wanted their photo taken. They then asked all about Sunny. Then I had toddlers with their parents coming up to us wanting to pet Sunny. Thank goodness Sunny is full of sunshine, and I don't worry about him being aggressive or mean spirited to anyone he meets. Now if you are a squirrel, you will see a totally different side of Sunny. But if you are human of any age or a dog, he is going to approach you with a wagging tail.
