Some things don't change! Living in my condo in the Crossings entering an elevator with Kaia evoked two typical reactions. Some people clearly are not 'dog people'. Their reaction to Kaia was either total ignoring or fearful withdrawal. Then there are the 'dog people' who fuss over Kaia while totally ignoring me. The same is true of the reactions of inmates of the Old Folk's Home.
Kaia and I were walking down the hall today when we met one of our neighbors. She hadn't seen Kaia before so stopped to pet her. She had a sandwich in her left hand and was petting Kaia with her right. In doing so, the sandwich was inches in front of Kaia's nose! The good news is that Kaia didn't grab the sandwich, much to my relief.
I'm keen to get Kaia to SDak. so she has more opportunity to run. She seems to have settled into the OFH well and has forgiven me for the long boarding at the kennel. Hopefully kennel stays will be brief in the future.
Takk for alt,
Al
This random photo is from our last trip together to Norway in 2015. In 1958-59 Joanne helped her father found an American Lutheran Church in Oslo. The picture is in that church and shows Joanne visiting with a charter member of the congregation whom she recruited in '58, and he sang in Joanne's choir. His wife had recently died.
