On Monday, four belles and two bitches reveled in autumn air as crisp as an apple as they walked for an hour in Brackenridge Park. Sally Buchanan, who lives near the Park, joined us for the first time. It was election day and she was on the ballot for the San Antonio River Authority board. That night, we learned she had won in a landslide.
Another office holder who joined us was Susan Gragg, mayor of Olmos Park. Chica and I had been missing her and were happy to see her again since she is a confirmed dog lover, as evidenced by the dog statues in front of her house that she dresses up seasonally.
Mary Lil Chappell clocked us on her pedometer. Our route from the Zoo to the Sunken Garden, up to Alpine Drive, down past the Sunken Garden Theater and back to the Zoo was 1.6 miles. That's a bit less than the 1.8 we walked one week, but it gave us dogs a smidgen more time to savor the riot of scents that abound in the Park. Can’t wait for Monday to roll around again so we can show off the new fleece sweaters Mary bought us. Girlie girls that we are, we LOVE new clothes.
