Tuesday - 10/9/07
Who: Heath and Open
When: Tuesday Afternoon
Where: School Grounds
What: Heath is having himself a stroll and happens upon a stray.
It was a nice day, or at least relatively so. It was quite cool out, only reaching the mid-fifties, but the rain and fog had cleared up at the very least and this was perhaps the last relatively warm day they would have for a while and he intended to enjoy it since there would be plenty of rainy, cold days in the future where he could get his work done. He was fortunate to have the type of job where he could just do what he wanted when he wanted. That freedom was priceless, and something he had never experienced in his previous line of work.
It was while walking along, enjoying the day, taking the time to finally have a look at what turned out to be a rather lovely campus with well sculptured lawns, that he happened to run across a pup, probably no more than a few months old, who was collarless and alone and sniffing around for some scraps to eat. Heath had always been a sucker for a stray.
Crouching down, he offered a hand out to the pup to earn his trust, getting on his level, something he knew was important when it came to any animal, and he waited for a bit for the puppy to come to him before he scratched his chin and dug into his pocket to grab out a bite of beef jerky, one of the things he most liked to snack on, to offer to the dog.
It didn't take long to make friends, especially after giving him beef jerky. And before he knew it, the small pup had him down on the ground, paws on his shoulders, licking his face while he laughed. He was probably going to end up taking this one home with him whether Heather liked it or not.
