Kish and I went to dinner in Grandview last night, and as we walked to the restaurant we passed one shop that had thoughtfully placed a water dish and a huge gumball machine filled with dog food by its front door.
Kasey wasn’t with us, but she would have appreciated the gesture. And I have to say that, as a means of point of purchase advertising, a water dish and a dog food dispenser are pretty strong inducements. Anybody who cares enough about our canine friends to provide such treats is probably a pleasure to deal with, and a decent sort besides.
