Meeting Trump in the Jardín

I am still reeling from astonishment because of the fact that I met Trump in the Jardín. Give me a moment to explain. It's not what you think. Friendly and warm-hearted, it was a delight to talk to him. Amiable, affectionate, and caring, he allowed me to caress his blond hair. I would never have predicted how he actually appeared and behaved. In fact, I see him there regularly.

He seems to really like me too because each time he sees me sitting on my bench, he quickly comes up, sits close and presses against my leg. I admit that I reciprocate, treating him the same way. The more that I do, the closer he leans into me. He takes a deep look into my eyes and smiles as no one has ever smiled at me. We know we have something very special going on. He has personality plus, and I think he's really good looking as well.

From the moment I met him, I could not resist him. He's not at all like everyone imagines. Who would ever have thought? After reading all the negative publicity about him, I certainly would never have predicted how much I like him.

Watch out for Trump in the Jardín. But I warn you, you will change your mind and like him, too.

Trump's appearance is very consistent. As soon as he enters the Jardín, he always checks peemail and usually leaves behind a message, as he gazes fondly around at his friends and future friends sitting on the benches. The friends who know him well wave and motion for him to come over and visit with them. Such friendly behavior is typically seen in the Jardín. We all love to see our friends there.

The Spaniel is owned by a Mexican man and he has named him Trump. His hair is the same color as the human Trump's hair. His owner thinks it's a great joke and everybody laughs when they hear his name and we all love the dog.

If you see this wonderful animal in the Jardín, give him a pat and a hug for me. Tell him you read this article about him. And congratulate his owner for having the bravery and sense of humor to name his delightful dog Trump.
