Dogs

I brought Summer down to the HB with me last week and i experienced that dogs create conversations with others. I was waiting for Mallorey outside Starbucks and a gentleman, who was almost blind and had some slowness in his mental capacities, wanted to pet Summer. We had a short conversation that went like this. "Do you like dogs? Yes, better then people. Why is that? Because they don't have an agenda." Wise man. We talked for just a few more minutes and we ended up giving him a water we didn't need.

Then we walk to the pier and sit near the pier. A small man came to wanted to pet Summer as well. He was slow mentally as well and had trouble walking. We chatted. He lived in HB, went to church in Irvine, didn't work, liked to travel. When Mal, Jessica and I were talking, he defined what we were saying and asked if we were going on a missions trip. He obviously needed someone to talk to. He was very nice.

I have been told that dogs attract people, and that it is a great way to meet people. I think I will bring Summer more often. I will see if it just happens when girls are together or will it happen when I go along with Michael? We will see.
