Daisy

Tonight we went to the park to let the kids ride bikes and eat dinner at a nice, cheap restaurant with outdoor seating. We took our seat at the restaurant and the kids noticed the lady beside us holding an object in a towel. At first I thought it was a newborn baby. Then, the kids (in their loudest English) started yelling that it was a dog! They were so excited, and the owner let us pet her dog. She explained that the dog was really old (15 yrs. old) and that's why he/she was wrapped in a blanket. When I asked the dog's name, to my surprise, it was Daisy, but the owner knew no English. She pronounced Daisy perfectly, though. I think Daisy is the no.1 dog name in America. I know 2 dogs in my old neighborhood named Daisy. Now I know one here as well. So here are some pictures of Daisy, the 15-year old, cradled, hair-cut-too-short, doggie in a blanket.And here's Emma and Abby riding their bikes at the park...
