Friends

I’ve been blessed all my life with good and kind friends.  Across the country and internationally I have old and new friendships that I cherish and (thanks to technology) I can keep in touch with.  One of those friends came on Thursday with her Golden, named Ranger and spent a few days with us.  Her visit was planned more than a month ago, but could not have come at a better time after the past week. We had a great time catching up, staying up too late, laughing, shopping and eating all the wrong things.

Of course, I told "Sid" all about Sunny and asked her to (please!!) be mindful of him and not grab his collar.  After dinner one evening as we were clearing the table Sunny put his front feet on a chair to see if there was something for him on the table.  In that one moment she did just what the trainer said someone not thinking would do, she tugged Sunny's collar and asked him to get down. And without a flinch, he did what he was asked. She and I both feel that there's hope for him.

Our friend left early this morning in fog and temperatures in the 40's. Standing outside saying good-bye, we were all feeling pretty chilled by the crisp autumn air.  Afterwards I did the only thing I could do, got another blanket and went back to bed.  I do love the fall.
