Doggy delight

Swell walk with my friend who's almost all healed up from her surgery; we took her dog, who it turns out has been sick for a while with a bladder infection, but wasn't showing any symptoms other than fatigue or occasional listlessness. Said pooch has fully recovered, and dashed about like a pup, vaulting over things, rolling like crazy in wet grass, full of vim and vinegar. We visited a newly finished pocket park not too far from the zoo, a little space with a fantastic view to the west, and a mythological theme in its design. There are some words on a decorative band in the cement entry, referring to Theseus rescuing Ariadne from the Minotaur in the labyrinth, although no mention is made of the monster. Kind of a sanitized version, but I suppose if kids thought they were heading into a place replete with monsters, they'd balk. Or maybe not, but they'd be disappointed by the lack of video games.
