… time trying to decide on a title for this post. Blessed? Meeting a Kindred Soul? A Dog’s Matchmaking?

Or possibly all of the above. A few days ago I took Bulleit to a most wonderful trail close by. He needed fresh air and exercise, I needed all that and then some as a few thoughts were needing some serious pondering.

So there we were minding our own business on a bench, post trail walk and along comes a lady neither of us had ever met. Bulleit immediately went to her, and she went to Bulleit. (because you know dog people are a better breed of human). We started chatting and it wasn’t long before I realized how special this complete stranger was. We must have chatted for an hour plus talking about everything from guys in uniform to Mother Nature and quite a few things in between.

I absolutely ‘love’ these random highlights in my life. Here’s a person who one minute is a total stranger, to a person I now know much better, and she I. There’s a level of peace and comfort in our communication. It’s nice, it’s fun, it’s a thrill to meet a new friend.

Thank you once again Bulleit for being the dog that you are and introducing me to someone I’m more than happy to call a friend. Someone who just happened to come along at a time, well just in time.

I’m grateful, very grateful to you both.
