good instincts

Yesterday Ziggy got out when my friend was WD-40ing the door hinges, and she ran down the stairs and of course chased birds in the neutral ground.

Then she ran to a house and wanted to go in the backyard.  Because ... ?  So she went under the house to get around and into the backyard, where she was pretty well contained but wouldn't come and I wasn't crawling under or breaking into the backyard. 

A mother and young daughter came out to see what was going on and they were so lovely.  They had noticed me and Ziggy before but I had never noticed them.  I think they moved in recently, perhaps after a marriage split.  We chatted a bit as I held a hyper dog at the end of a leash - she asked about the push mower I use, the little girl was very interested in Ziggy.  "She wants a dog so much, but I don't know about that.  We'll start a cat."

Anyway, I really like them.  You know how some people you just like their energy right off the bat?  That's them.  And, it seemed like the mom was looking for a friend, which is great.  Plus, now if Ziggy gets loose they know who to let know. 

Thank you, Ziggy, for the introductions.  Naughty dog.
