Any of You Folks Like Pups? Here's a Video of One Who is Amazingly Well-Trained....

This is Sophie. I wrote a couple of 55-word stories about her when I knew she was pretty-darn sick. Sophie and the pup in the video are both Bouviers.

The Last Hurrah!

Past few years, he’d, somewhat macabrely, wondered who would go first.

He 77 with heart disease, she recently diagnosed with cancer. In dog years, they were the same age.
Decided they’d take a trip. Get away from it all.
Car packed, ready.
Chest pains, toppled over. 

Tossed her the keys. “Drive carefully and have fun.”

This one’s pretty uplifting, hey! I wrote this when I accepted that my pup was pretty sick. She died January 15, 2017.

The Dogs’ Way

They demand nothing and expect little.
Always patient.
Understanding and forgiving.

Never vindictive.

Always by our side.

Will protect us till their death.
Won’t question what we do, but will always support us.
A simple treat will make their day.

If there was a God who was fair, they, the pups, would be walking us.
