Footpaths and Paw Prints

  Suzy and I went on an early morning walk to catch the sunrise on the mountain. A nice man was shooting photos at the overlook. Suzy, being Suzy, made friends with him.  Then she and I sat on the rock wall together. We didn't know her new friend took our picture. But he told us he had done so and then gave us his card so I could contact him. The photo captures the essence of the relationship Suzy and I share.

  Suzy and I like to take meandering, aimless walks, and just kind of let life happen as we go along. We always come upon something or someone interesting. I call Suzy "Miss Congeniality" because most every time we venture out, she makes a new friend. She simply can't walk past anyone without greeting them, and usually enjoys a warm reception because she makes people feel loved. Occasionally, her new friend is canine, but more often they are human. I am more of an introvert when it comes to meeting humans, but she is changing me.  The fellow in the picture is one of the friendliest folk we have encountered. He adores Suzy, and she adores him back. He has a wonderful smile. I am learning a lot from Suzy.
