Watchers

I am a dedicated people watcher,most people are but some are hesitant to admit it. There is no shame in it,though most people don't like to be found out. Often times when I am out for a walk I notice that people watching seems to be a sport for dogs as well,and they feel no shame when they are noticed at their game. They will make eye contact and watch with purpose,even turning their heads to follow your progress. The question is what are they thinking as the watch the parade? Do they critique your gait,your hair,your clothes? Or do you suppose they can smell your scent even though they are inside a vehicle? Do they think you look like a nice person,or are they looking for a potential doggy parent for a homeless friend? The simple answer from people that have never really been around animals or got to know how individual each critter is would probably be that they aren't really thinking much of anything,just watching the motion of passersby to keep from boredom,but if it were that simple wouldn't they just curl up and take a nap if they were worried about becoming bored? Just a little something to give some thought to,or not if it doesn't rate high on your list of things to think about. I will go ahead and make up my own scenarios as is my habit.
