I saw the coolest dog today.
As I've noted, I walk to the T via the bike path in Somerville. This morning as I was getting onto the path, there was a black lab there, probably not quite fully grown, with a big stick - well, more like a branch. This branch was easily eight feet long and the dog was clearly thrilled by his find. He was prancing around, head held high, the stick held up with no part of it touching the ground. He kept running up to people with this look in his eyes, like, "See my stick! See what I've got!! This stick is GREAT!!" He came bounding up to me and was so obviously pleased with himself, I almost had to laugh. It put a huge smile on my face, that's for sure.
I so want a dog.

That's exactly what Gromit does when he finds a big stick like that. That and whack me in the knees with it. Black labs like to prance.

He sounds like a real cutie pie. I so want a puppy but with a cat, several fish tanks, and a small condo, not happening any time soon.

An eight-foot stick? ...Maybe the dog was so thrilled because he'd just won the bronze in the pole-vaulting competition.
