Reub's journey

Chick magnet at the post office

I live in a small town, and when I have to go to the post office I go to the branch nearest my house. It's a local business that contracts with the USPS to be an agent. So when I want to send a package, I walk past an assortment of hot tubs, grills, and gas fireplaces. There is a hand-painted sign with an arrow indicating where I should stand in line.


And that is the place, where every time, I lose my heart. It's the  golden retriever there who recognizes me: he gets up from his nap next to a favorite toy (awwww), ignores everybody else in line (omg, he loves me, only me), and he comes straight to me (my boy, mine).
 



Dudes. If you ever. Ever.  Want to attract a woman-worth-having. Get one of these dogs. Seriously. 

And girls, you should always, always carry a few milk bones in your pocket. Just like me.

    Of course he recognizes your beautiful soul, Kerry. Of course.

    Please note how in the first photo his eyes are concentrating on my left pocket. I'm completely shameless.

    Milkbones are a serious training tool and not to be taken lightly:) I have sometimes reflected that my stash of dog treats might make a life or death difference in an earthquake or some other situation where snacks became important. Not only will those rescue dogs find me first but I will not starve whilst I am waiting.

    Such a face, but I hardly think you need a golden to attract women. My schnauzer and heeler did just fine. My new cat, not so much.

    ER: *Laughing* Yeah the cadaver dogs are gonna be so excited when they find us!

    Snow: Almost any dog will do, except maybe some of the toy breeds. It's those big brown eyes that do it. A cat would be a very inconsistent player.

    Laoch: He is SO lovely.

    I would love to have a dog like that. Luckily I was able to snag Mrs. Cheese without one :)
