a nice thing happened this morning...

9am: as i was walking ferdinand, a red volvo station wagon pulled up beside us. the man inside rolled down his window and said:
nice man: i live on stowell ave, and i want you to know that i like your dog.
me: oh, thank you.
nm: did you write that letter?
me: yes, i did.
nm: well, i want you to know that we like your dog & have no problems with him or you.
me: yeah, i had to go to court over that, but everything has been fine for a while. i haven't had any more trouble with that guy.
nm: oh, good.
me: well, thank you - it really means a lot to me.
nm: yes - we like your dog. take care.

i smiled all the way home!
ferdie was smiling too, however he was too nervous about the man & the loud car to let it show.
