Ozzie is a very patient and  tolerant , resigned dog but in the middle of the night when Rudy, the little dog, growled at him from underneath the covers when he jumped on the bed, he was justifiably confused and just stood there with his nose on my leg.

After an exchange of texts, we noticed  that we were parked next to each other outside the studio texting away to each other without realizing it. We repaired immediately to Acre coffee. As we were walking out we encountered another friend so I walked back inside with her and took this picture.
