Dog Park Daddy

Jennifer, Sarah and I stood by the pick-up counter as Tabitha made our lattes, chatting about how crazy warm it was in Atlanta and how glad Jennifer and I were about it during our run that morning.

As we waited, I noticed a familiar-looking guy stirring sugar into his coffee, so I asked him, "Do you have a dog?" He looked over at me and his face lit up as he pointed and said, "Dog park!" I laughed and said yes, and that wasn't he Josie's dad? He asked if I worked in the building and when I told him no, that I worked a few buildings over, he said that unfortunately he did work there.

We introduced ourselves with our real names - as opposed to Josie's dad and Scout's mom - and he said that he and his girl would be there on Saturday. "We will too!" I answered.

Tabitha called our names, we picked up our lattes and the three of us walked back to the office, amazed that I'd just approached a random stranger with the question, "Do you have a dog?"
