When my neighbor retired she wanted to be a volunteer dog walker at the local shelter. On her first day, she was given Buckley, a black lab. On their walk, she noticed that every now and then he would turn his head and look right at her. Eye contact. Connection made. So she just kept walking until she walked him right to her house. It would be his forever home with her and her surprised but welcoming husband. Buckley is at the Bridge now. Probably playing with a Pug. (Yes, there was some notice given and paperwork involved with the shelter).
We still have them here. And they are a looked for diversion from the car seat in the back …”There it goes, Mom!!” and a few moments late…”Here it comes!” And many times it comes back with a lollipop.
When our Jake was a pup, I had left on the sofa a little leather case that held credit cards, library cards, ID and driver’s license. He chewed that up pretty well. The leather case was a goner and the cards were still usable, but had puppy teeth marks embedded. Jake is at the bridge now but I still have those cards with the bumps.
