I had a surprise today. I had to go to the post office to pick up a parcel and to do that I have to pass several schools. I am new here so I had no idea what to expect. I have delt with it all through. THe cat calls, barking, growling(all from PEOPLE) being rushed at on bikes, scooters, scateboards and coming to a skiding hault to try and scare us.
So when I saw a teen age boy coming towards us on the sidewalk on his skateboard going back and forth I had no idea what to expect. But he decided to surprise me. 5 feet before he got to me he stopped, picked up his board, smiled at me, said "nice dog" and then as soon as he was 5 feet past he was back on his board. This seems like such a minor thing to make a post about. But to me it is not. Kindness like this from children, teenagers and adults happen all the time sadly it is only the cruel or mean acts we seem to remember or dewel on.
