I just have to share this!

The article I'm about to quote was on the back of a clipping my sister sent me. The story has no connection to the article, but I always read both sides of the paper, and sometimes find something so delightful, it just has to be shared! Printed in the (Tucson) Arizona Daily Star, date ?.

   Once in San Carlos, Mexico, I was lucky enough to stay in a condo where dolphins swim past each morning only a few feet off shore. They would flee when approached, but I soon learned that if you floated in their path, they sometimes approached you.
   One morning, I found myself hanging out in chilly water with two other dolphin lovers, one of whom owned a collie that anxiously barked from shore, frantic to "save" us. The collie eventually swam out to us, tried to persuade us to go in, and, finally giving up, paddled back toward shore. At exactly this moment, two dolphins arrived, clearly fascinated by our four-legged companion. Quietly, they followed the collie into less than 2 feet of water and, just before being beached, turned back to deeper water, creating a terrific splash. Only then did the collie realize he had been followed. The shock, fascination and joy on his face when he first saw the dolphins were unmistakable. Out he swam, and the dolphins and collie spent nearly a half-hour playing the oddest game of interspecies chase imaginable.
   It was an experience I will never forget.

Now picture that game, and try to forget it.

Go ahead, just try!
