No disputing that statement

I'd be the first to admit that I can be a contrarian, challenging other people's opinions on most anything. But not always. When I took our chocolate Lab, Aquinnah (aka the Quinn Man), for his morning stroll the other day, a passerby exchanged pleasantries with me, looked at Quinn, and exclaimed: "That's a beautiful dog!" For once, the quibbler in me was at a loss for nits to pick. So I went with the obvious response: "Yes he is. Thank you."

The Quinn Man . . . always ready for his closeup.
