Do dogs bark?

[todayiamadaisy]

Some dogs and their owners I see on my weekend beach walk

* An old man who has obviously had a stroke, walking slowly with a limp;
          * A very round, grey-whiskered Jack Russell terrier that waddles at the same speed as him.

* A middle-aged couple in matching tracksuits;
          * A friendly golden retriever.

* A smiley, apple-cheeked old lady who always wears a sun visor;
          * Two Cavalier King Charles spaniels with waggy, feathered tails.

* A distinguished older man I like to assume is a banker forced to retire from burnout;
          * A tiny, bouncy Jack Russell terrier puppy that he gazes adoringly at.

* A taut, wire-thin woman of my mother's age, who has obviously lived a life and now walks it off in neon lycra;
          * An ancient scruffy terrier, always wearing a hot pink coat.

* A young woman who runs up and down the sand dunes;
          * A blue heeler that sits at the top of the dune and watches her.

* A middle-aged woman who is always immaculately dressed and made up;
          * A caramel "poochon" (poodle/Bichon Frise) puppy that is the cutest thing in all the world. (It's even cuter than this one on Youtube, and that's pretty cute.)

* A man about my age who has obviously suffered some sort of injury and has to walk for rehab and does not enjoy it;
          * A fat little fox terrier that trots next to him dutifully.

* A middle-aged couple in tracksuits (not matching);
          * A friendly, trembly grey whippet in a blue bandana.

* A young man who jogs slowly;
          * A Great Dane that doesn't have to go beyond a walk to keep up with him.
