Calgary from Bosco's (aka B-Diddy's) POV

It has been hilarious watching people's reactions to Bosco, our furry, 90-pound black baby. Since downtown Calgary is a mecca of corporate headquarters, hotels and short-term corporate housing, I think many people are taken aback to see a dog of his size wandering the streets.

Some people literally cower away or shriek! Coming from the super dog-friendly East Nashville, I had forgotten that some people are just not accustomed to seeing pups, however friendly they may be. There are also plenty of people who get huge grins when they see Bosco coming up the sidewalk. I love seeing him brighten somebody's day. Of course, anybody who will give him a chance is instantly charmed and discovers that he is a gentle giant!

Regardless, Ben and I cannot wait to move into our apartment next week, which is in more of a residential neighborhood where dogs are not an anomaly. I think Bosco will be happy there, and so will we. Three weeks in a hotel is quite enough!
