Nigel – pooped from the heat, but ready to chase a ball!
For most of the summer, our dog park has been empty of dogs and people. except for a small group of us whose dogs can tell time. Between 2:20 – and 3 p.m., they’re ready to hit the dog park.
The other day, Rob and I and Nigel, Nika, and Abby were the only ones at the park. Then a couple came in with a dog and joined us in the shadiest spot.
Mark Konkol and his partner, Sasha Weinert, were on a road trip from Chicago, with their dog, Nelson. It’s their way of celebrating the end of a 15-month lock down. Mark is a journalist in Chicago- and Pulitzer-prize winner for local reporting! – and in the link, explains that he and Sasha were in Wellington, looking for Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who owns an estate here. They never found the governor, so we were the lucky ones to meet them.
From Wellington, they headed to Orlando, where this picture was taken. And here’s the link to Mark’s terrific piece in patch.com
Even Nigel is mentioned!
Safe travels, you two!
You are meeting a lot of successful and well known people lately. Maybe this Mercury occultation will be lucky for you. What a fine, handsome dog! He never takes a bad picture.
He really is a handsome guy. He’s our gentle giant!
Maybe so on the occultation!
It seems to be going rather badly for Trump. Occultations can last for months, you know. I hope this one lasts just long enough.
Yay!
