Today, just as I was arriving at the salon I saw a woman walking 3 dogs. One was a black doodle. I of course stopped about 10 feet from them and said hello. The doodle pulled away to come see me and the leash holder told me this was Max. I really need to actually notice the people and not just the animals, because when I looked up I knew who it was. This sweet boy, i had groomed for years until his mom had to enter a care facility. Her friend and dog walker took him in, and this was the person I so rudely paid little attention to. But there was sweet Max. I have pictures of him as a puppy and her he was, a bit gray, but still that sweet heart. She told me he must remember me because he never pulls away like that. Just touched my heart.
