There is a beautiful golden retriever up on the hill across the street from me whom I call Red. He is tied up and behind a fence and barks Hello every time I go outside with my dogs. He has escaped and visited many times in the past. Earlier today, I saw the neighbor in my back yard attempting to call the dog as he streaked across the huge open lot beside my yard, going full tilt with what appeared to me to be a huge grin on his face. She gave up and returned home. A short while later, I was outside and Red came right up to me for a petting. I conceded and after a good head scratching and rubbing started to walk him across the street. The man and woman were outside so the man came across the street, looking irritated to retrieve the retriever. I gave the dog another good head rubbing and the man angrily exclaimed, Stop petting him, thats why he runs away! I just smiled and said that I would prefer he run to me instead of away. He took the dog back home and secured him behind the fence, then jumped in his car to leave. Have a good one! I said happily and smiled. Today I am grateful I can let go of the negativity in people and enjoy the positive. I can only hope that he can let it go too....
