In fact, quite the opposite—my personal story of owning two lovely rescue dogs for several years will make you uncomfortable. And it wasn’t until a shelter volunteer popped his head in, asking “Are you gonna get that dog or what? Back at the shelter, it didn’t take me long to find a dog that I knew Biscuit and I would love.

He was adopted by the Masson family and was apparently the most loving dog all who met him had ever had the pleasure of being licked by. And the crying would never stop.

The week before I had tried to walk this trail with my parents and son in the baby jogger, but the constant need to veer off the pathway to avoid those less observant of CDC guidance made the experience more stressful than enjoyable.

Or was I, like so many birders, doomed to eternal restlessness, always investing somewhere else with the glamor of new birds and new experiences? There’s a movement at the corner of my eye, and an off-leash dog bounds towards me (not an issue you have to deal with on pelagics much.) Like right now, for instance. Not as easily.
