Small Goings-on

The raindrops fall,

making tiny circles

in the puddles

on the porch.

A squirrel,

clutching birdseed,

lifts his small paws

to his mouth.

A wee bird sings,

calling his companions

to the feast.

I, damp with joy,

sit and dryly watch.

Thought for the Week

Lily, a six-year-old Great Dane, had lost both of her eyes due to a rare medical condition. She’d also lost the will to live. Until one day another Great Dane named Maddison came into her life. Maddison began “walking” Lily every day, guiding her with gentle but firm nudges, insisting she keep going. Lily’s depression was soon displaced by an unbreakable bond of friendship with Maddison. Now neither will go anywhere without the other.

You know that thingabout dogs being loyal best friends and all that? Well, it’s true. Maybe they should set up “human obedience schools” to teach us how to givelike Maddison and gratefully receivelikeLily.PawPrint6Happy Dog Days!
