Lola and Ruby

One of the pleasures of neighborhood walks is meeting some of the neighborhood dogs.  On one of our walks we met Ruby.

A few weeks ago, Jeff, Lola, and I were on one of our semi-regular late afternoon walks. We were heading up the Maple Street hill, walking into sun glare, when we saw a couple and a dog walking toward us.

"Is that a beagle?" Jeff asked.

I was thinking, could it be?

Yes, it was Ruby; we hadn't seen her in months.  I fumbled with my phone to snap a few pictures before we headed our separate ways.
