I like to sit on the balcony after dinner and have an evening cocktail. I bring a bag of peanuts to feed the squirrels and I watch the sun fade behind the building across the street.
I have about five or six squirrels who regularly join me. I also watch the same seven or eight people walk by with their dogs. I see the relationship between doggie and master.
The love and trust that they have for each other is amazing to watch from my perch. The personalities of the humans is easy to read by watching how they handle their puppies.
Watching the dogs, feeding the squirrels, listening to the birds and having a cocktail is a beautiful way to wind down the day.
I have a friend who lost his dog this week. He posted a picture of his dog and wrote a farewell.
….I’ve actually seen several of you do the same thing….
Dogs are such an amazing part of our lives and families so when they leave it’s devastating.
The Shepkids have Molly back at their mom’s house. Hazel misses her dearly. The hardest part of the summer for Hazel was not having her doggie along her side. So Hazel likes coming out on the balcony to watch doggies and feed my squirrels. It’s still not the same.
We got Molly the winter before Hazel was born. Molly is going on ten and Hazel turns nine on Sunday.
In the next few years Molly will join Burley in heaven. Hazel will grieve and be a pain in my ass during that period.
I will tell her that dogs go to heaven and they patiently wait for us to join them and take them for a walk.
I just wonder…. Do you have to pick poop up in heaven?
