the funny things dogs do

I have the most adorable labby in the world.

Mango usually waits to greet me quite laboriously when I get home from work each day. She's stomp around, lick my knees, start wanting to offer me her hand to shake and all the other doggy stuff she does. Last Saturday, however, when I got home, as I turned to get out of my silly-car, I came face to face with not just one, but two smiling faces. It seems Mango's friend came over to play. As in, the dog just wandered into my house. Apparently she belongs to my next door neighbour who lets the pooch roam about nearby for stretches so its been coming over to play with my ever frisky puppy (who's beginning to outsize and outweigh her friend who's 2 full years older. )

In any case, Mango's friend stayed till past dinner. Mango's the regular friend-maker. Her boyfriend- this other golden she hangs with- lives across the street and her buddy lives next door. Once, when we accidently left the gate open, we found her sitting with her friend; one inside the gate, one outside. Just sitting there...
