Thorney Meeting and a Dreary Day

I awake to my confounded eye glossed over in excessive mucous. It may be that I brushed it against some shrubbery while on an outing. I think tomorrow if my condition has not improved I will seek professional care. I wonder if animal health care in Korea is as promising as the human kind.
Perhaps going out of doors will do me some good. Alas, blustering wind sweeps the playground where I frequent. I don't particularly delight in the company of children yet I see myself as an ambassador to my species in hopes that they will think twice before relishing victuals from dog in the future. The rain ceased an hour before but has touched everything and makes walking beyond the bricked surface unpleasant. I imagined today I would venture to a local temple but the weather hampers my ambitions. My lady has a persistent cough and I doubt she would want to trek over the many hills and up a steep set of stairs that the temple is rumored to be located. So it is decided, we will remain here and occupy ourselves with books and bones.
Before I can decide to return indoors a fluffy youngster bounds from the neighboring flat. He is not on a lead and approaches me directly. It is a deviation from my usual character but I instantly take a liking to him and offer to romp a little. He is unsure of my advances but I assure him of my intentions so he takes a single step closer. As he leans in to properly greet me I feel a tickle in my throat. I let out the most obnoxious and wretched hack quite in his face. He loses curiosity and speedily retreats from our engagement. I am left dumbfounded and to my chagrin I have lost a potential acquaintance. Perhaps the morrow will prove to be kinder.
