Saving the princess

I called the folks at the kennel to let them know I'd be picking up Echo a day early.  Another proven field study that people don' know 'bout my randomness, but somehow they know when I come calling.

"Daisy Hill Puppy Farm."

"Can I pick up my sweet, sweet princess a day early?"

The reaction was a lot more fun than if I'd been businesslike.

I picked up another friend from the pier a few weeks back.  Up close, the arrival is quite a spectacle: signs, hugs, palpable anticipation, that sort of thing.  I earlier thought, "Who will be there to greet me home from my next deployment?" It's a freaking lonely feeling.
