Dog Days

Today was windy and rainy.  Just the two of us at home.   In a sunny interval we took the two dogs for a short walk.   Bruce can't seem to manage long walks nowadays.   As usual our whippet nosed off into someone's garden.  'I wish she wouldn't do that', I said.
 
'When I went for a walk with Helen (a friend), she was off into people's gardens all the time'.

'I can't believe it. Why?' he seemed interested.

 'Well she's just nosey I suppose'.

  'What a hard nosed bitch'.

  'She's just a daft dog'.

So the conversation rambled on til I realised.  He thought it was my friend  disappearing into people's gardens.   Oh the joys of dementia.  And at least we'd talked which is often hard these days.
