Two cute puppies

tarotgalSo I feel like the only times I post here are when I need to bitch about my health or when I post fic. Sorry about that! Well, not sorry about the fic thing. Speaking of which, I wrote a Sherlock His Mortal Instruments AU this morning at 1am because the idea wouldn't leave my head and it's adorable and I couldn't go to sleep until it was written. I wrote it for the current ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sherlockbbc_fic kink meme going on right now. Here's my thing: http://sherlockbbc-fic.livejournal.com/22393.html?thread=130843513#t130843513 I love me some hedgehog, you know. Also, I had "Lee Scoresby's Last Stand" (the song) stuck in my head the rest of the night (i.e. the shower and falling asleep) and morning thanks to this ficlet. Which is okay because I adore the song, but bad because it makes me cry.
Also, I got a call from the doctor's office today. My X-Rays from last week show that I have excess fluid in my hip joint and... get this... this is the best name for a medical problem ever... I have a... BONE ISLAND! Haha! It's not a big deal and is benign and isn't supposed to be causing pain. But one or both of these are probably responsible for the problems I've had with my hip since peuberty. And I just like saying that I have a bone island. LOL Greatest name. Sounds like a horror movie. "Welcome to BONE ISLAND! BWAHAHAHA!"
Anyway, on to the cute dogs. I witnessed two cute puppies* today.
I was in my car at an intersection on the way to work this morning, stopped at a red light. There was a golden retriever in the big van/SUV right in front of me, also stopped at the red light (because that's what we do at red lights). Anyway, there was someone driving, someone in the middle row pilot's chair, and the dog was standing on the backseat. Every so often, the guy in the middle would turn around and pet or talk to the dog and the dog would perk its ears up. But mostly the dog was looking out the windows. Then it turned its head and looked out the back window right at me. And our eyes locked. And the dog would not look away. So I raised my hand and waved. And the dog's tail started wagging and it started barking. The guy in the middle quieted it, but then it looked back out the window again and kept wagging its tail and looked so very adorable! I said hello a few times and its ears kept perking up as if it could hear me, though I'm sure it couldn't; maybe it could just tell I was smiling and saying something. I don't know. It was super cute.
Then, later, I was driving back to work after my lunch run (I drive home every day to use my bathroom and eat some veggie saussage... oh, how I wish that were some sort of metaphor LOL). There's a sidewalk in front of a children's day care center right around the corner from where I live and there was a woman walking her dog. Medium-sized dog, brown & white... couldn't tell what breed (maybe a mix?). The dog was STRAINING at the end of its short leash, trying to get at something. The owner kept trying to pull it along, but the dog DESPERATELY wanted something. Immediately I thought it was a dead bird or maybe some food one of the kids and dropped on the ground. It was clearly something the owner didn't want it to have, and I've done enough dog walking to know that feeling. Finally, the dog would not stop pulling and the owner let it get to what it wanted. It immediately scooped up this big, fat stick. The stick was about 4 inches in diameter but only a few feet long. The dog grabbed it and its tail started wagging and it trotted--no, pranced--along right beside its owner down the sidewalk with the stick in its mouth. I haven't seen a dog that happy in so long! What a cutie :-) He was so very proud of his stick. Best stick ever!
*My use of the word puppies above does not indicate that they were young dogs, merely that they were adorable dogs. All dogs are puppies. End of discussion.
