Dog Dilemma

Welcome to the month of October!  It was a wonderful weekend weatherwise, very good walking weather.  We went out to dinner with some friends.  They are getting ready to move into their new condo in a couple of months.  But they've just discovered that the building will only allow one dog, not the two that they have.  It seems the real estate agents did not do their jobs properly, having told them this would not be a problem at the outset.  That large commission is for a good reason!   It's quite a stressful situation for them.  They said choosing one dog (which they won't) reminded them of the situation in the movie 'Sophie's Choice' if you have ever seen that.  I didn't see it myself but according to google, Sophie had to choose which of her 2 children would go be gassed and which one would go to the labour camp at Auschwitz.  And I'm glad I didn't see that movie!

One a more pleasant subject, these are the leaves of a coral bell plant, don't they look gorgeous and shimmery for the season?  I read that they can be used to liven up  a salad but they are a bit tangy.

Oh how horrible is that, having to choose which dog they take. That is going to be very upsetting as I take it that neither dog will go with them now. And the real estate agent just did not do their job properly.

What a beautiful salad plant, so shiny! And I, too, am glad that I did not see that movie. Too bad your friends are faced with the dog dilemma. I wonder how they will resolve it.

Lovely leaves, but a hard choice to make! Valerie

Yeah... That is a hard decision, I'd chose the sillier dog.

I hate tough choices

That is a hard choice to make, and I wouldn't know which dog to choose either. Hopefully, your friends will find a better solution!
