Dog days, part deux

It was an afternoon that merited an extra two bike laps around Centennial Park on the way home. The breeze was warm, and alive with the smell of freshly cut grass. It may be autumn now, but there are few smells more summery than sun-warmed expanses of newly shorn lawn.

Best of all though, was how many people were out with their dogs. Big fat woolly dogs, curly-tailed cocker spaniels... loping and lolloping, tongues lolling, down hills and in tail-chasing circles.

Damn I'm jealous of all you people with puppies! I think we're overdue for an update on our blog mascot, Handsome Darling. Reboot? I know it's your birthday tomorrow, maybe you could put a party hat on him and let him blow out your candles?
