Expecting something, maybe the next round of walkies

We can always pretend its cold in the mornings, right?
Us being silly and dressing up patient Malte the dog in select human clothing. He really looks a charming young man dressed up like this.
Its nearing summer, however we can always pretend its cold in the mornings, right? Can confirm he makes hearts melt even without this scarf.

Bobo poked his head out the window driving through Taibei
Bobo liked to poke his head out the window when driving through Taibei. Sylvia's family dog was the friendliest I ever met, he too accepted me, the Westerner, as family.
In the car every now and then he'd sneeze and was clearly enjoying every second of the ride, as you can see. This is an old photo from 2004.
EXIF may tell you an SP-2000 Fujifilm machine digitized the film; boy was I a frequent customer in that small photo shop when in Taiwan. Friendly staff was surprised and happy I came by often with new rolls of film. Getting a CD from each cost almost nothing extra (100NTD maybe? Less than 3€) and I got these early photos from my Canon SLR in acceptable quality.

Just being there can be enough for a good deed (pt. 2)
Today on the way home from a long walk he Malte the dog took a break on the broad sidewalk. This is a street typically busy with pedestrians. #StoryTime
While he relaxed, a couple of lovebirds walked up to us, both adorned with many a sign of a date going very well, including a large bouqet of flowers in her arm. The woman asked me "Can I...?" and I replied "He will be ok with that I'm sure". And this doggo happily received some cuddles and shared his love, making hearts melt. She commented on "oh you, you really made my day, thank you". (Me and dog we have had this reaction before.)
Which her partner took lightheartedly offended, turning to me chuckling "You know, with women, you just can't do everything right, even flowers are not enough, who can ever understand women", gesticulating and inviting me to join in the cheer. I may or may not have mumbled something to affirmative effect with my laughter, as it was clear they were in a mood most excellent and not at all in need of a comment.
We wished one another a good day afterwards, and I felt compelled to write about the encounter. They made our day better too. Some days it is very easy to do a good deed, just being there can be enough.

Dog's always pretty and peaceful when he sleeps
Always pretty and peaceful when they sleep. Also, not a puppy any more.

Spring is in the air but not quite there yet
After a longish walk, me and puppy sit in the early afternoon sun for a few minutes before going home again. Spring is in the air but not quite there yet, except maybe in these quiet shared moments.

Very sleepy day today for pupper. In return, I got more work done.

A number of people seem to be having stressful days after unrestful nights, so I thought I’d share this photo of Vice Admiral Finnegan Nimoy Reginald Kirkpatrick, Earl of Barkington, at the start of his naval career. May you find sustenance in this early capturing of he who started from such humble, floppy-eared log-walking-by-the-shore beginnings, but would later become a decorated officer and hero of the sea, respected and beloved by all who know him.
