Just a brief note here. I was walking Barkley last night. I had just determined that it was going to be a much shorter walk than usual as I had mistakenly chosen a coat that did not quite fit the weather. In other words, I was freezing so Barkley was forced to hurry his deed. Suddenly, a street lamp came on and I saw in the gutter a black and white cat watching carefully Barkley’s every move. Barkley, my fabulously un-dog dog had no clue that the cat was even there. It startled me and I thought it was painfully cute, but it didn’t warm me up any so we continued on with the quest.
