I was driving along today, and I happened to notice a plane in the sky. I thought it was a jet, because it was leaving what I thought was a vapor trail (not out of the ordinary - there are always military planes flying around here). Then I saw that it made a hard turn, and after looking closer, deduced it was a sky writer. I mean, jets can't turn that sharply... not that I know of.
When he was finished, I saw that he made a big paw in the sky. I parked so I could take a picture (before it dissipated), and then noticed there were the remnants of three other paws in the sky. As if a big dog stepped in cloud, and was leaving a trail across the sky.
I don't know what it was for, though. Maybe a promotion of some sort? Or maybe just someone having fun? I'll probably watch the local news (which I almost never do) to find out, and I'll let you know if it's a sign of the apocalypse, and a huge cloud stepping dog is gonna eat us all... or if we should just shop at PetCo.

That is probably the most awesome thing ever. I want someone to come draw paws in my sky.

Growing up in Queens there was always some skywriting advertisement going on, usually something about The Wiz. It was always fun to stand there and watch and try to figure out what it was going to say.

It was dog-speak for "Surrender Dorothy".

Totally freaking cool. Nobody ever does anything like hat in any of the places I've ever lived.
I'm jealous you got to experience that. Seriously.

Could be a poor attempt at the budweiser crown.

Mikey? Hunny? You didn't go missing on us again, did you? I couldn't bear it if you did. That means that these past few months of wonder and joy have all been just a big tease. Please don't do that to us again. Pleeeze?
