whelp, as william shakespeare said, chuck, all's well that ends well! and this was the end of the photos though not the end of the walk, on the way i pulled out a poop bag and subsequently saw the baggie of the ball rolling like a plastic tumbleweed west on 59th street and then it blew back up on the verge and i said get it charlie and she did just before it started to cross the intersection and then once crossed i said hey where's the orange ball aw shit charlie we gotta go back and there it was behind the fedex truck so i got it back in the bag and said and that's when i quoted uncle willy to chuck and she looked up at me with heterochromian eyes sparkling with love and gratitude.
