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.

My office mates don’t seem to mind the cubicle sharing model.

My UI doesn’t do Alt Text. So, here ya go: 3 small dogs (one white, one black, one light brown), sharing 2 small dog beds, on a white couch in a blue room.

When you get out of bed to use the bathroom on a very cold morning….

My UI doesn’t do Alt Text. So, here ya go: One small brown and one small white dog, back to back, on a bed, heads on a pillow, covered in a striped comforter.

New Here

Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #atheist, #bahai, #barbecue, #conversation, #dogsofthefediverse, #family, #fasting, #friends, #friendship, #humanist, #keto, #coffee, #ketofasting, #lgbtqparenting, #coffee, #love, #nde, #peace, #peaceful, and #spiritual. Also on Diaspora as; michaelwillsey@podling.oksocial.net, A young married man of 68 years of age, like simple casual conversations about anything. I'm most associated with reasonable liberalism in that I accept everyone as they are except mean people. I feel we need mutual cooperation and not mutual destruction. The world is grossly overpopulated, and we need to end the Industrial Revolution as it has failed and end capitalism, as it too has failed. Currently, I'm supporting the Forward political party. Although I agree that George Washington was correct in saying all political party are wrong-headed. Earth Homes are nice. A new society with a blend of agriculture and science for the greater good is needed. Thorium LFTR will give us safe and unlimited energy so that fossil fuel can be eliminated except in absolutely needed situations. I'm especially against racism and for mixed marriages. My late wife was an amazing African-American, my current with has family roots in Puerto Rico. I'm a Scotch, English and west coast of Europe blend. We love all positive people who want everyone to be safe and loved.

Chip Dogg at Criccieth Beach

My best buddy Chip a few years ago in his youth at his favourite place - the beach!
Above the sands at Criccieth there's quite a lot of grassland and the scenery behind it is lovely.
He still loves it here but doesn't run about quite as much. I know the feeling! 😉
