Face Licks

​Enjoyed part of yesterday’s beautiful weather sitting on the patio at Starbucks with the 4-legged hellions. An old man sitting solo at the next table starts talking to Herc, giving him lots of pets and telling him he’s so handsome. Herc eats it up and expresses his gratitude by licking the man from chin to ear to forehead. Before I can even begin to utter an apology and pull Herc back, the man says to Herc, “Oh yes, thank you, I guess I needed my face washed and you did an excellent job!” This earns the man a second round of face licks which elicits a hearty laugh out of the man. Not sure who enjoyed the encounter more: Herc, the old man, or me for being able to see them make each other’s day magnificently better. <3
