Now that the weather is warming up a bit, my dog comes along for the ride when I go to fitness classes at the YMCA.  She waits in the car, staring at the door I disappeared into, for the entire hour.  She knows that when I reappear, we will be going for a walk on the path that runs along the road by the YMCA.  She gets so excited in anticipation of our walks that the bark/whining begins as soon as we turn into the parking lot.  Then the poor girl has to wait.  But this does not diminish her enthusiasm.


Today as we walked, I saw this chalk message on a sidewalk.  Smile!
