One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why.

Walking my bi-eyed girl this afternoon...
- a dog-less neighbor meets us at the end of his driveway to give her a big hug and pet (and to receive a sloppy kiss)
- a child, not much taller than her, calls out to play and
- the mail carrier stops her route to give her a treat and an invite up into the mail truck.

She is a gentle and happy canine, likely about nine years old...one who is rather independent, but still appreciates her humans (at least for the food and belly rubs). She also gives back to the community, as evident from our daily encounters...and, without asking why! Naples, FL
