Dog Stories and Other Oddities of Fate

Walking my dog Onyx this morning    
An hour later than usual    
Hit the pavement at 7am    
Usually out the door at 6am plus or minus    
First dog we engage with is a BIG poodle      
Jet black and wearing a cone    
Just got spayed yesterday      
Dog's name is Sunday    
My first city rescue dog is pictured here    
Her name was Sunday, we changed it    
Ginger became her name    
I named her after Ginger on Gilligan's Island A beauty for a beauty    
I tell the owner black dogs rule    
We chat and I move on    
Next dog is a ultra small mutt    
Our dogs engage    
Sniffing parts      
The dogs name is Gigi    
I tell the owner I had a dog named Gigi    
Growing up on Long Island      
Everyone had a dog named Gigi    
We engage and talk and then move on    
That one hour difference is critical      
At 6am, it's dark, cold and few dogs out    
At 7am, the whole world is buzzing    
Sun coming up, the day unfolding    
You get more Good Mornings at 7am    
At 6am everyone is still asleep    
Thinking I should buy a lotto ticket      
It's a sure loser but you never know      
Just like running into my past with dogs    
Sunday and Gigi    
Sunday became Ginger    
Gigi stayed Gigi    
My new dog Onyx was named Mabel    
A moment in time in New York City ....
