I had my heart set on adopting one but he was spoken for. https://medium.com/paper-poetry/his-name-is-diesel-4bb0c69b3817. The best thing about my daytime walks is all the dogs in the neighborhood love me. Particularly Benny, a mid-sized Golden Doodle. His owner lets him off the leash when she sees me (after checking traffic) and he runs to me and hugs me. I will get a dog when I find my next place. There are so many wonderful breeds I don't yet know what to get. I know the universe will keep sending me messages to help me decide. My heart wants to relive my childhood with a blue merle collie.
