The visit is done....

The Snags

Hi G-Fans!

Well, visiting time is officially over.

Gabriella went home today and took her concierge and the concierge's helper.

On our walk in the sun by the bog today I was thinking that if I am a royal princess than my kids make for a royal family.  Would you not agree?  Now while I was on the walk it seemed to be a significant thought that was related to another significant thought, but the thought was interrupted by events out of my control.

We skirted a potential skirmish with that leashless yellow lab and ice skating teenagers on the bog again.

We took an interesting turn in route which we enjoyed.  As we were on the turn of the home stretch in the bog section we saw three people and two dogs on an approach to us.

We calmly waited.  Patiently waited.

Until the just the right moment.

And then we realized it was Harry and his two concierges.

And we were happy.

Happy to say hi to Harry and his troops.

Until Bertie alerted us to the additional interlopers.

Harry was not only walking with his entourage, but he was with another human and a smallish black and white youngster dog.

ANOTHER DOG!

We went wild crazy and made it as impossible as possible for them to safely pass.

They did manage to pass.

But no niceties were shared.

No hellos.

No how-do-you-do's.

No butt sniffing.

They just skittered past.

And we were dragged on.

The walk went relatively smoothly after that, except for the guy in the orange highlighted clothing and a baseball cap who had to walk in the street because we had to be show we were large and in charge.

The concierge did not show her gratitude for us protecting, no, instead she verbally assaulted us for at least an hour.  Or maybe it just felt like an hour.  Maybe it was less than an hour.  But it definitely felt like more than an hour.

Anyway, she used words like "ashamed", "mortified", "disappointed" and so on.  I stopped listening after the first three seconds when I realized she wasn't giving us accolades for our bravery and bravado.

So, that's it.

May you have the applause you crave for the heroic deeds your perform each day.

TTFN!
