rituals

every night, we take chase for his last walk. sometimes i might do it solo or g might do it solo or we will do it together. either way, when the clock strikes 9 pm - give or take a few - chase knows it's time to go.

we all know fine and well how we are creatures of habit, lovers of ritual. but i just can't get over how the neighbor who lives around the corner knows it too...

as we turn the corner, this little guy watches from above, as if surveying the scene. nope, there's no need for a territorial bark. just as i know when to eat breakfast in the morning, g knows when to stretch on his yoga mat, chase knows when to take a dump, this "neighbor dog" knows when to wish us well for the night. 

now that's what i call community.
