Luc, an eight year old Springer Spaniel, came into my life over a year ago by accident. I met him and his owner during one of our Saturday morning walks - she with her quiet Luc and me with six dogs, my three and three guests. Luc was not overly fond of my pack, but he was nice to me. Now, a year later, Luc is my constant companion on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I pick him up around 8am, take him for a long walk with my guys, drop everyone else off at home to walk later with Doug, and do my poop scooping with Luc as my co-pilot. Sometimes he gets out of the car, but frequently he just sits and waits. He only like yards where the dogs are never out and very rarely will Luc try to get to know any of the other dogs...except mine. Or someone cute who catches his eye.
So we drive and sometimes I sing to him. I talk to him a lot and feel like we have become good friends on a very non-verbal level...kind of like Doug. The difference is that Luc actually acts like he is listening to me and never acts annoyed. The days I don't see him I feel like I should call and say hey, but I don't.
