The one and only

Leo had a play date with our friends' dog Queen over the weekend. They live in Inwood, way up at the northern tip of Manhattan, where I hear Santa has his workshop. We opted to meet in the middle, which meant the dog run at 105th Street on the river. After a ten minute taxi ride and a five minute walk, Leo was running amok in the dog run.

Shortly after we got there, another wheaten terrier came into the run, and the two of them began chasing and playing together. I spoke to his Mom and found out his name was Milo. I told her Leo's name.

"Leo?" she asked. "As in the Leo? Leo the dog?"

She had seen Leo's site. She had seen it, and remembered it.

Leo is more famous than me now. I have never run into a stranger who knew my web site. But, I am not cute as my dog, so it was only a matter of time.
