Walking with Piper
Oct. 11th, 2016 03:14 pmPiper and I walked to fountain square in downtown Evanston. I put her on top of the concrete surround to get photos of her with the plume of water in the background, but my favorite one of the set turned out to be just her furry face.
I met a woman just outside the pharmacy on Sherman Avenue. Elderly and wearing a CVS uniform, she came hurriedly over to ask if she could pet Piper. I told her Piper's story in brief, and she talked about her Lhasa Apso who she'd had for more than a decade who had died around last Christmas. It was nice talking with her. Walking a dog really encourage random social interaction. I think it gives people something safe to approach a stranger about. I really like that.
Meanwhile, Piper seems to appreciate the attention from any source. I do think she's slowly feeling better. More energetic and enthusiastic maybe, though it's subtle. She'll be coming to the vet with me tomorrow for a glucose curve test and so I can talk to the vet about a few questions.
