Yesterday I went for an acupuncture treatment. Dr. Robin Wu and his wife Jenny moved here from Taiwan about a year ago. He’s working on his English. But sometimes I have trouble understanding him. And he, me. Jenny's English is a fair bit better; she took a three month immersion course in Arizona before moving here.
Yesterday Jenny was recommending I go see the movie Milarepa. It was here for only a week. Apparently it’s very inspiring. I said I couldn’t; I had to go to a dog make-up class. (It had been canceled once because of a snowstorm.) They smiled. And then I realized they thought I was saying I was going to a class to learn how to put make-up on my dog’s face.
I laughed so hard Dr. Wu could put the needles in without my even feeling it!
Should I admit, I thought the same thing, that lucky dog is getting makeup classes! I was a bit jealous!
A while back, before we had a zillion cm's of snow, I saw a woman walking a dog like yours. This dog was leaping and twisting in the air as though it was trying to catch a frisbee. But it was just walking along side her and keeping step with her at the same time. I was amazed!The movement was so graceful, it looked like dancing. Is that a special trait of Port. Waterdogs? Are they gracful like that?
