She is nervous, a bit frail, and frightened of big dogs. She and her JR had been attacked. Slowly, the mist lifted and she began to remember me. She was at the local convenience store one day and in a bit of a dither whether to go in by her back gate or front. I offered to walk her home and she accepted. Me - and my
big dog - took her to her back gate.
So, when I went round to get some garden pics and that lovely JR monument, we got the story of her JR who had been savaged to death. Very sad tale. And a testament to why she has that lovely dog in her garden.
*who am I to call someone elderly? I'm in my seventies. But I think I did what was right for the lady. My good deed for the day.
