It's a Small World!

I was walking my puppy outside the local Petsmart one day last week when a lady with a Westie came up and asked what kind of dog Shannon was. I replied, "Border Terrier" at which point she remarked that "there was a gentleman she saw most days walking two or three Borders at Harvey Bear Park". I replied that I thought it was me! "Oh, yes!", she exclaimed. "I didn't recognize you without the cap and sunglasses!". That has happened several times now so I guess I am becoming a "fixture" at the park! At least they are still referring to me as a "gentleman"!

We spent a few minutes talking dogs when another younger lady walked up. "Is that a Border Terrier?" she asked. "Sure is", I replied. "How do you know about BTs?" It turned out her mom owned two and was showing them in conformation. I asked who that might be and had to smile when she told me her mom was a lady I know quite well and whose dogs I have groomed occasionally in the past! I had never met the daughter before and we all laughed at how small a world it was!
