if we are lucky
a dog will give us their smile
and our hearts will melt
Yesterday, I listed the many lost companion animals of my past; most of them were dogs, dearly beloved dogs.
A good friend is a part-time palm reader. They recently read my palms and saw two very clear signs. First, there would be big dogs in my future and second, there would be small dogs. We both laughed.
I’m writing this on a very early Wednesday morning. In a couple of hours, I will be visiting the Stray Rescue of STL facility to walk dogs for the morning. It’s something I look forward to every week. One at a time, I will walk mixed breed dogs that have been abandoned and then rescued for hopeful re-homing.
Last Wednesday, I walked Goten, Supreme, Fury, Luck of the Irish and Pepto. Not sure who I will walk today. I’m always hopeful at least one of last week’s dogs will have been adopted or fostered in the meantime.
Here’s wishing you a day filled with joy and, if you’re lucky like me, a day that includes the love of a dog.
