In Cole Valley this morning, in front of Cole Hardware, we met a small boy and his dog.
You can pet him if you'd like, he said. I did, and asked what kind of dog he was. A Jack Russell Terrier, the boy said, his name is Vito. My dog is a Jack Russell Terrier too, I said, his name is Lyle.
We sometimes call him Vito Vito The Doggie Torpedo, he said, bashfully. I sometimes call him Lyle Lyle Crocodile, I said, and we smiled at each other and went our separate ways.
Every single time I sit down on the couch to eat, Lyle gives me the big dog eyes and then brings over all of his toys, one by one, and lays them at my feet.
This seems to be either a gesture of "Hello? Do we not share things in this household? I would like some food, would you like my squeaky duck?" or "Ho ho! I will distract the human with the rope toy and steal the food for myself!"
In either case, perfectly absurd and amusing.
