Lots of ups and downs with the dogs
... they drive us crazy, but in the final analysis...

When the Man waked up he said, "What is the Wild Dog doing here?"
And the Woman said, "His name is not Wild Dog any more,
but the First Friend,
because he will be our friend for always and always and always."
Rudyard Kipling

A new friend, a lovely lady, shared this with me. Thank you, Lady.

I once spoke to my friend an old squirrel, about the sacraments - he got so excited and ran into a hollow in his tree and came back holding some acorns, an owl feather, and a ribbon he had found.
And I just smiled and said, "Yes, dear, you understand: everything imparts His grace."
~ Saint Francis of Assisi ~
