well, maybe I'm a little late for formal Friday thing. but nevermind....
Tonight (as I walked home from town) I picked up a golden retriever. Or it picked me up. It was hard to tell.
It was happily wandering along peeing on things (the way dogs do) and I was walking home. I said "Go Home!" So it followed me home. A distance of 1-2 km. Which wasn't quite what I meant.
I was somewhat ambivalent about this. On the one hand, a young, smallish woman walking about seems less vulnerable if she is accompanied by a large dog. On the other hand, the dog appeared to have no fear of roads and I worried that it was getting far too far away from home, and was too stupid to get home okay. I wonder if it will be alright. I suppose it will. The irony was that I was leading it in the direct direction of the city pound.
I hope it knows what it is doing.
