We searched for a dog today, not following the scent trail, but just driving around Volunteer Park, looking, and talking to people. Tino stayed in the air conditioning the whole time. We didn’t find the dog, but we came upon this sculpture. I remembered being there with Kelsy. My iPhone remembers the location where a picture was taken, so I was able to see that we had been there five years before. I find that I often remember the geography of a search more than who we were actually looking for. Of course I remember the dog I was with as we moved through a particular landscape. I wish I could remember the thousands of cats and dogs that we have searched for.
