Some people , I've heard, are date magnates. I have a Grandson who is a dog magnate. How does he do that. I always wanted a stray dog to follow me home, or for me to see a dog in a parking lot, just waiting for me to make him mine. nada. Nothing. I'm
more than willing, but it's never happened. Not even close. Why is that. My Grandson just is lucky, I guess. Every dog that I ever see is attached to a leash with a human at the other end. I think Cricket is happy that no strays have come into her life. She
has a circle of buddies and she is not looking to enlarge her pack. She has a good friend who visits. The first thing we do when the visitor comes in, is pick up the food dish. That's a given.The two dogs don't interact too much, but it's cute to see the visitor
go find Cricket's toys and bring them into the living room. Cricket usually watches with concern. A house needs dogs. When the kids leave home, you have to have something to talk about.And as far as a single Grandson is concerned, I hear that a dog is a girl
magnate.
