I could see Norman Rockwell doing a painting where the subject is the family pet. I could see him doing it portrait style (vertical), instead of landscape style (horizontal.) I could see his rich watercolors softly capturing the colors and feeling of the wood and brown linoleum. I could see him painting the dad reaching in a cabinet to toast his bran muffin; his daughter cooking eggs on the skillet for the dog; both of them keeping out of each other's way; and the dog keeping a respectful distance from the dad in the dad's kitchen on Father's Day. And all the details of a Rockwell painting: a box of Kleenex, a bunch of bananas, a tray of brown eggs, a yellow jar with ice cream money for the grandkids and a refrigerator adorned with messages. A moment in time that won't last forever except in a painting and a photograph.

| A man approaches Riverside Boulevard to cross and go to the stables. |
 |
| He is riding a very calm palomino. |
 |
| He presses the button to get the green crossing light. |

| What you can't see in the picture is Alfie's ballistic reaction to this large animal. Fortunately the horse was used to dogs. |
