Good Afternoon, World!
Not too long ago on my lunch hour, as I was walking back to my job (having enjoyed a delicious slice of pizza), I saw it. The most adorable, fluffy, cuddly thing I have ever seen, trotting toward me, tongue out, (human in-tow), panting, with rolls of playful, floppy fluff rolling along the solid contours of his young, gray body. Joy welled up within me as we continued to approach one another, and I couldn't help but stop dead in my tracks when he was within my arm's reach. I said to his human, "He is beautiful and is the most adorable little guy I've ever seen! What's his name?" "Thunder", she said, "Because of his dark gray coloring". "How old is he?", I said, kneeling to greet the handsome young Thunder, who gave me many earnest and genuine heart-felt puppy kisses. "Three months," said his human.
I took in all I could of Thunder without overstaying my welcome into their personal space. What a pup! "Thank you, he's completely made my day", I said, not wanting to part from the warm sunshine, and from Thunder's company. Thunder must get a lot of attention. His human was kind enough to act as though I was the first person ever to ask to pet him, gracious as she was. But, goodness, me. If I'd have had more time, I'd have asked to take his picture, for words cannot describe him, or the feeling of joy he gave me when I saw him waggling down the street.
What a guy. Thanks, Thunder, for walking down the street at 12:20 on a day such as this. Now that I have returned to the Land of No Windows, I will think of you fondly and the warmth of the day. This is the first day of Spring (in my book). Woo-hoo.
It's amazing how much brighter the world becomes when the weather changes for the better. People in the streets were friendlier, people are kinder, and puppies come out to play.
I like Spring.
