Observations from an afternoon in the park

-Give a dog a ball and he will find endless ways to have fun with it. The same goes with a stick or an emply plastic bottle.
-Stay in one place long enough and the mosquitoes will find you.
-Lying back under a tree and sky-gazing through the branches is a delightful thing we don't do often enough.
-Try to keep a dog away from the pond and the third thing he'll do is get completely wet. The fourth: get his master completely wet.
-Greetings among dogs vary from friendly kisses to snobbish ignoring to "m'as-tu-vu" types.
-Just because two dogs like each other does not mean their owners will reciprocate the liking. (Life is not "101 Dalmatians").
-You only think of what's on the grass under you when you catch a dog peeing a few metres from you.
-Greetings among people vary from friendly kisses to snobbish ignoring to "m'as-tu-vu" types.

There is pleasure in the sudden slight chill that falls after sunset, if you have a warm jumper with you.
