Today was MM's first day of preschool, so the whole team decided to take the T into Park Street Kids. After dropping her off and stopping at a parents breakfast, it was just me and the twins. I decided to let them run wild in the grassy part of the Boston Common. Caroline found a lighter and put it in her mouth...and then the dogs appeared. My girls got very excited and started running up to the different sets of dogs and owners.
Our pastor always talks about people he meets while walking his dog Amos. I always smile politely as he tells stories about these tales, and I am thankful that I am not scooping up poop.
As we started talking to these owners and a lady who joined in the fun because she "missed her dogs in Va" and took a job at a dog store in the south end because she missed them so much. All of a sudden, I realized that for a few moments, I was a part of this "dog" group. I was "walking my own doggies" and fit right in with them. Funny, no other kids were around, but Sarah and Caroline had a great time with their new friends.
maybe we should try out dog parks in the future? do you think they might need counseling one day? (don't answer that honestly, okay?)
