oh what a beautiful morning!

It is absolutely gorgeous out there! I just came back from a 2 hour walk with our dog. I took in so much beauty...the light, the leaves, the perfect fall air. It was heavenly.

I laughed at myself as I passed a couple of runners and some dog walkers because I found myself thinking about 101 Dalmations. Remember the beginning when Pongo is dog and people watching from the window, looking for the perfect mates for Roger and himself? He sees a long haired, slouchy, artistic girl and her coordinating pooch. Then, a poofy, sophisticated lady and matching poodle. It goes on and on until he discovers Anita and Perdita.
As I said hi and exchanged dog comments with others I wondered, "Am I like Lily? I am big and blonde like her. I am friendly and my hair can be a bit fluffy! Does Jeff love Lily so because she reminds him of me? Do we select our pets partly on attributes we see in ourselves?" Yes I know, I am very deep. 'Can't help it. It's just who I am.
