We have never met Joan and Ron before but when we saw them at the street corner near where we live, we knew there was something we like about them. So we ran happily to greet them. George ran headlong first and because Joan had read all about him doing a runner recently, she grabbed a hold of his lead. See George, hoomans all over the world know about your antics.
Then I ran to greet them and Maddie (who is staying with us) followed us.
Of course, it suddenly occurred to me that I had left Mummy, so I better go back to her.
While George and Maddie sought attention from our friends from Canada!
You see, Joan and Ron became our friends on the Facebook page – I Love My Cockapoo. And when they were stopping over in London for their summer holidays, they asked to meet up with us.
I think they’re also missing their two – Emmy and Oscar!
They’re back in Canada waiting for their mummy and daddy to get home.
And guess what they brought us all the way from Canada? Something to wear for Canada Day!
May’s comment: Sometimes social media seem to have replaced our need to connect in person. But Facebook, as I have experienced myself does bring people together. Reconnecting people we have lost touch with or bringing together those who have things in common.
In the end it is our dogs that connected us!
Joan reads our blog postings via I Love My Cockapoo and she reached out to us when she knew they were coming through London. We are so pleased that she and Ron have taken time out to meet – and now we have met another of our blog readers because we both share a love for our doggies.
Enjoy the rest of your holidays, and hope to see you again soon.
