Fido's Ghost

We still don't have internet access at the condo, but luckily I can spend a few minutes on the blog at work. It snowed quite a bit here last night! Everything is very pretty and white outside, and I enjoyed only having to drive four miles to work in the snow instead of 17. Something really funny just happened when I was walking over to my office from the visitor center. It was completely still and quiet outside, with the snow falling, and when I looked up in front of the Lincoln Home I saw a BIG dog (it wasn't Kaiser). He looked just like the Lincoln's dog Fido, only this dog was solid black--which was quite the contrast in the snow. I stopped and stood there looking at him. He stood there looking at me. And then just like that he gave one "Woof," turned around, and ran off into the snowy mist that has settled on Springfield. I have no idea where he came from, where he went, or whose dog he was. Maybe it was Fido's shadow back to check on his old home?
