We were in historic Georgetown, South Carolina for the Plantation Tour of Homes.
Enjoying the view as we slowly drove down the streets lined with huge live oak trees all draped with moss, their branches cascading over the rooftops of gorgeous historic homes.
While driving along my husband noticed something interesting.
He didn’t mention it to me at the time.
I didn’t notice it at the time.
I was too busy looking out of the window on my side of the car, oohing and aahing at all the gorgeous homes we were passing.
But after making a few turns and then heading up another street, I noticed something interesting.
And I asked my husband, “Honey, slow down and look up ahead! I’m not sure, but isn’t that dog walking that man? And isn’t that cat following them?”
My hubby says, “Yes! I noticed that a few streets back!”
So we drove real slow and kept watching up ahead as they all rounded the corner.
We reached the corner and as we were turning I reached in my purse for my camera.
They were just a few houses up. The dog had stopped. The man was heading to go up the driveway and the cat was right behind him.
“Honey”, I said. “Hurry up, I want to ask him if we really were seeing what we thought we were seeing!”
He sped up. We reached the man. I rolled down my window and asked. Yup! We saw what we thought we were seeing.
The dog and cat were walking their human!
He says they take a couple of walks a day…every day!
I had taken a few pictures as we were heading up behind them.
After we talked and were driving away, he stopped and smiled real big as I took the last picture…
Such a sweet man. Such a sweet sight!

ReplyDeleteMany years ago I had a calico cat and when I took the baby stroller around our neighbourhood she would follow. Patty/BC

What a sweet story. Animals keep us young.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet that is. My cat used to follow when I walked my two BC collies up and down our street and no one was on a leash. Bet he has had them for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI loved your post on A Stroll thru life. I am a new follower and I will be following you.
Have a wonderful weekend.
