Dixie and me meeting a neighbor

DIXIE AND ME
Every now and then, Dixie and I get to meet someone new. And it happened today with a neighbor.

 We were loitering around the property he lives on, and he pulled up in his silver car. I expected him to walk away, but he instead greeted Dixie.

 As usual, she dragged me over to her new "victim", and he laughed and gladly petted her. She did her regular routine of lying down and offering up her belly to rub. He didn't take the bait; instead, he rubbed her head and back.

 Naturally, she was thrilled.

 We didn't exchange names, but we did talk a good bit. I told him about me covering NASCAR years ago, and he told me about him helping rock bands with electricity and equipment.

 All three of us came out of it happy. And I apologized for bending his ear.

Quiet walk in the neighborhood

WE GOT CLOSE AT THE DOG PARK
Dixie and I had better luck walking today than we did yesterday.

I took her to Covington Park yesterday, but today we just walked around the neighborhood. It was uneventful, and Dixie seemed to enjoy our walk.

We walked up to our neighbors' yard, but they didn't pay any attention to us where they were working outside.

 She never once tried to pull out of her harness. The only negative came when she tried to drink out of a mud puddle.

 We just turned around and came back, picking up the mail on the way. I put Dixie in the house.

 Then I went back out, put a bag of trash in the barrel and pulled it out to the curb (they'll pick it up Tuesday morning). Dixie's a major hindrance when taking out the trash, so it was best to leave her inside.
