Diligence JonesIt's funny how we let dogs into our homes/lives. They've got big teeth; big heavy paws with claws. They used to be dangerous.
But I'm doting on this guy, calling him Schmoopie face and Bubba and Fartacus. Diligently feeding him treats by hand, checking his ears, teeth and poops. Wiping his ouchie spots. Leaning over him as he sleeps, watching his chest rise and fall, listening to him snore. The only person I do this for is my 79 yo father. After heart surgery.
We probably have a lot of conditions for the people we let into our lives.
But dogs...we open our hearts wide. We scoop them up and never look back. We take their love and run.
