Warmth

Moving back to Kelowna has its blessings. My son and I are able to spend more time together. After hikes with his two girls, Gia and Lacy, he often invites me to meet him at a restaurant or pub that allows dogs on the patio. Here they are resting beneath the picnic table.

Gia is a Heeler; Lacy is a Heeler, Border collie mix. Lacy is about 10 months old and Gia is around 3 years old. They are very energetic dogs and thrive on the attention and discipline they receive from my son.

Those “dates” with my son are both relaxing and fun. We catch up on news, talk about his sisters, and make plans for the next date. Since he works in the hospitality industry we often run into his friends and colleagues and I am known as “mom” to many of them! It’s a warm feeling to be accepted into their community so easily.
