Today while weeding a garden bed at the roadside part of the yard, a young girl about 8 or 9 with her cute, cute dog walked by. I couldn't help but notice how sweet they both seemed to be and I noticed how PROUDLY the little girl was walking the dog. So, I just had to ask her if it was ok to pet her dog. She said yes, and so I did. I asked her what kind of dog it was and she said a Springer Spaniel and Golden Lab mix. It really was a cute dog....named "Teddy" which of course melted my heart even more. I didn't talk very long knowing that kids are told to NOT talk to strangers etc. etc. and I am SO aware of that, that I let her go on her way. She said goodbye, and good luck to me. I didn't understand the good luck part, but thought she was just searching for more words to say and happened to come up with that expression.
About 45 minutes later I was in the back yard doing more weeding and I heard someone yell something. I looked up and it was that same little girl with her pup and she yelled "Have a nice day"......
There are many sweet kids out there and I hope their parents know it. I often run into little rag-a-muffins right off the farm, with no manners. That is not to say that people who live on farms have no manners, just the ones around HERE! And I am sure the sweet farm kids just go un-noticed!
The little girl and her pup just MADE MY DAY!
