It does seem true that the local mall can be compared to an image of a temple - where people meet, talk and worship together. In the weeks preceding Christmas I guess I also spent some time and money there. I was pleased to pack up and head out of town for a long awaited holliday - my dog Max came with us and enjoyed lots of play time in the reserve and along the beach, when we headed south to a holliday park we left Max in the capable and loving care of neighbours. I was surprised then last Sunday morning at the camp to recieve a cell. phone call from a shop assistant to say that they had Max, who had trotted in to the mall - several k.m.'s from home. I made a quick ph. call and he was back in friends custody again!
