Red: For school tomorrow, I have to write an essay on what I'm most thankful for. I know what I'm most thankful for... you. You just made my day. Well, you've made my life.
There is a book called, I think, “A Dog’s Tale” or maybe “A Dog’s Life” in which a sheep farmer meets one of his Border Collies “on the other side.” The farmer is surprised to see the dog, Zeus, at first. But Zeus then explains his former life as a sheep dog from his own viewpoint. The farmer finally asks why, in view of the hard life, they are so loyal. Zeus answers, “Because you gave us souls, laddie; you gave us souls.” By the hard work, the training, the interactions, the camaraderie, the accomplishment, the affection….I never forget that when I converse with ours. Good dog, Rover, and ALL y’all!
Awwwwww! Nothing sweeter than the love between a boy and his dog, or a woman and her cat! Macushla (in my profile pic) is my best friend and my soul mate.
