Gabrielle:

I worked from home and would leave the doors and windows open to let the breeze through the house. To ensure that my puppy Jimmy did not escape, I would put a wooden doggy gate in the opening of the front door.

River:

I was on my daily mission, I mean dog walk, walking past Gabrielle's apartment. As I approached her apartment this time, I noticed that the door was open. This indicated that someone was home. When I got closer, the head of a Black Lab puppy poked over the top of the barrier. This was my chance. As the dogs greeted each other over the wooden barrier, I walked up to the open front door and looked into the apartment where I made eye contact with Gabrielle. She stopped making lunch in the kitchen and greeted me at the door.

Seeing that Jimmy, her Black lab, wanted to come outside and play with Rawki, my Husky, I knew exactly what I should say next. I made a comment, something along the lines of, "You know, it's not good to keep him locked up in here all day. You two should come on a walk with me." She said yes and off we went.
