While I had Stanley out for a walk yesterday in the sunshine and breeze, the cleaners were hard at work in the kitchen.  We walked through the park, said hello to some other dog friends, watched toddlers play on the swings, and then headed back.  They still needed about 5-10 more minutes dog free, so I said we would hang out on the front steps.  I got the best hugs and cuddles out there that I felt compelled to do a small photo shoot :)  This dog seriously brightens my day.
