Today's Walking Photos: Remember when I mentioned I had a surprise in store? Wellllllllllllll…meet Durazno. She is a rescue from Oaxaca, Mexico, brought home to us by our son Alex who works with the wonderful organization Caravana Canina which rescues, spays/neuters, vaccinates, feeds, deworms, fosters and finds homes for hundreds of neglected dogs. Durazno had suffered a broken foreleg prior to being rescued (probably hit by a car); after surgery to repair the leg was unsuccessful, amputation became necessary. She’s also a cancer survivor, but despite all of that she does NOT miss a beat. She's a sweet, sweet girl and we are overjoyed to welcome her to our household. (Well, MOST of us are overjoyed. See the last photo for a glimpse of the burgeoning Durazno-Walter lovefest.)

It’s not an exaggeration to say that I’ve wanted a dog all of my life. As a child we couldn’t have one because two of my siblings had nasty allergies that made it impossible. As an adult I’ve always had cats, partly because I married someone who preferred them, but also partly because I found that I really liked them. But that yearning for canine companionship always lingered. So this is quite a big thing for me and I’m just kind of over the moon. I daresay Pat's Walking Photos should get a bit more interesting in the coming days, weeks and months…

And speaking of the Walking Photos, I’m sorry – yikes, I’ve been very remiss about posting. Some of that has been continued music activities, some has been the arrival of Durazno last Thursday night, and some of it has just been my general scattered-ness. I’ve even been walking and snapping photos, but just haven’t found the time to post! But I’ll try to catch up.
