Well my little ‘Mayor’ of the neighborhood has been at it again.
By far, his favorite stop on his route is the Whinnem’s house. Here Karen gives him lots of loving and Ray gives him Beggin’ Strips.
For quite a while, Liz and her husband, (Thibeault) lived with them, and we visited with them on most days. In September they moved into their own place, so we see them very infrequently.
Fall in CT has been weird. Typically, we have warm days, and cool nights, but the sultry heat of summer broke and cold days and colder nights moved in.
This means people stay inside and we rarely get a chance to visit with anyone on our walks.
A couple Saturdays ago, on our chilly Saturday afternoon walk, we turned the corner onto Karen’s street and I saw that Liz’s car was there.
Sampson always stops and stares, as if he can will people out the door.
I can usually get him up and moving in a short time, but he will stop none-the-less.
On our return trip, he stopped in the front of the house and I was trying to coax him up. I happened to look at the front window, and saw four arms waving wildly at us. I waved in return and then I noticed they all stood up and were putting coats on!
Yes, those sweet, wonderful people stopped their visit to come outside and greet the ‘Mayor’ of the hood.
And yes, he got Beggin’ Strips.
His joy at seeing the people he loves, always makes me smile.
You make me laugh, (or smile,) the sweet, funny, loving things dogs do that make us laugh or smile.
What did your pet do to make you laugh or smile this week?
We are people dogs too. No matter where we go, greeting people is always a top priority. So happy he got to see his friends and get some treats.
Barley misses the days of getting loved on by all of the neighbors. Rye does not let people get near her, so nobody gets to say hi to Barley up close anymore. Now they just yell hi and wave and tell her she’s a good girl. She still gets smiley and wiggly for that, but it’s not quite the same. I’m glad Sampson is getting to soak up some of that loving on a chilly day!
How wonderful the Mayor got to see some of his favorite peeps!
The mayor has not forgotten his constituents.
OH. MY. DOG!!! That is sooooo sweet!! Both Sampson’s love for his friends, and their love of him. ❤️❤️
That is the sweetest thing that they came outside to see him! Sampson is definitely a popular dog, and obviously a shoe-in for the next mayoral election. 🙂
I’d vote for Sampson any day. Merlin’s the same, he loves people. He got all wiggly even before i opened the door to the vet the other day when i took him in for his weigh in. He’s known as the happiest dog in the world at the vet, cos he’s famous for his whole body wiggle.
He met a dachschund pup the other day and they were both too cute for words.
Sweetest friends ever. You are doing life right, S.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Aww, what a sweetheart. Now that’s a ‘politician’ I could get behind and support!
