POST # 629
As of today, the stoking of the fireplace will once again be in the hands of Howard and Sally, because the Thoughtful Wanderer will be wandering thoughtfully back to the USA for a little while.
There will be a multitude of different types of transport to get me there, starting with a car, then a ferry, a bus, a skytrain, and another train. Eventually I will be back in Washington to spend some time with Mary and Dora-dog, which I am very much looking forward to.
I had to break the news to Logan first, and I can't quite read the expression on his face. Mind you, the fact that he is sitting upon my computer makes me think that he doesn't want me to leave so soon.
On the other hand, one look into Caper's eyes tells me that she definitely doesn't want me to go. My guess is that she has become accustomed to getting more treats than usual, and she doesn't want the gravy train to come to an end. Sorry Caper, but all good things must come to an end as the old saying goes.
As is almost always the case, when I look back at the time that I have spent here, or for that matter any location, it seems to have gone by faster than expected. But it has been an enjoyable and relaxing time indeed.
Perhaps sometime down the road, I'll have yet another opportunity to take care of these two four-legged friends, and if that happens it would be wonderful.
In the meantime, I will continue to wander, thoughtfully of course, onwards to my next destination.
grateful for every breath,
Paul
The Thoughtful Wanderer
PS: I was meant to pick up Howard and Sally in Victoria last night, but their flight was cancelled. We came up with a plan B, which involved me taking Caper to the doggie daycare nearby, and then dropping off their car at the ferry terminal this morning. They will pick it up later today, and get Caper on their way home.
