Things that Make Me Smile

As I was walking home, I heard the pitter-patter of footsteps behind me which made me smile. I knew it was a dog being taken for its walk. I turned round and smiled at the woman and her dog and told her how much I enjoy hearing doggie footsteps. The woman said she was glad and the dog licked my hand.

Other things that make me smile.

Occasionally when I see mounted police officers, the clippety-clop sounds that a horse's hooves make do make me smile.

Cats make me smile. I just love the way they move and walk and for just being cats.

Squirrels make me smile. We have hundreds of them near where I live. I love watching them nibble at their nuts.

At night the foxes come out to forage. They make me smile. A friend tells me that one night he and his friend noticed a fox about to run across the road. The fox had several sausages dangling in its mouth. He said it was such a sight.

Pigeons make me smile. I like the way some of them behave so much like humans. I've spotted a few waiting at traffic lights to cross over. The same friend who saw the fox told me he once saw a pigeon riding in the tube (underground train) and wondered if the pigeon had an Oyster card (ticket) or whether it was travelling for free.
