Winter's arrival...

Sigh.......

Salsa's many skills does not include...

So several weeks ago during our first real cold spell I was walking Salsa and we were a few blocks away from our house.  Suddenly a little girl comes charging down the walk from her house and she's doing the potty dance, but obviously wants to talk:

Little Girl:  HELLO!!

Me:  Hi!

Little Girl:  Where do you live?

Me:  A couple of blocks that way (pointed west)

Little Girl:  Is that your dog?

Me: (thinking, well she is on a leash that I'm holding...) She sure is!

Little Girl:  So you're just out for a little walk?

Me:  Yes we are, she loves walking in the cold weather!

Little Girl:  Does she talk?

Me: (suddenly confused by the turn this has taken) Ummmm... no (and now thinking do you know any dogs that talk???!)

Little Girl:  So how do you know she loves walking when it's cold.

Me: dumbfounded

Out of the mouth of babes!
