October 3

This is my pal Beau. (Yes, I'm talking about the French bulldog.)

He comes into Starbucks with his human dad a few times each week, and every times he does, we interact. And he likes me; he makes his purring noises (aside: I never knew dogs could purr until I met him) and sits in my lap and jumps up to say hi.

I'm not much of a dog person, but I love Beau. He's a cute little marshmallow and his enthusiasm makes me smile. 

And though it seems strange to say, I'm grateful to know him.
