A famous saying is “Dogs are man’s best friend.” Most people love dogs, particularly the friendly ones. There are dogs who growl and appear mean. Some even act as if they would bite you if they had the chance. When I was a girl I had a Cocker Spaniel, Smokey. He died from eating a neighbor’s garbage, or at least that was what I was told. He was a great dog and went everywhere with me and played with all the neighborhood children. When I was an adult I had two Doberman Pincers. They were wonderful dogs who again followed me everywhere and played with the real J.C. and the real Bob from the sweet shop in “Pecos Meets Bad Bart.” These two dogs were the friends of all the children in the neighborhood. Both dogs led happy lives. When my two children lost the female Doberman, the real Mary from Mary’s Cafe’ and the real Glenn known as the Rev. Glenn lent them their golden retriever, Nike. He was also an excellent dog but the best part about him was I never had to feed him, clean up after him or take him to the Vet. All in all a fabulous situation for me. One day as I was reading a book, it occurred to me that dogs appear in books as an adjunct to the story line. I think I should write a book about dogs. Last night our dog, Bonnie, disappeared. My daughter drove up and down the street with a flashlight. No luck. I called and whistled, still nothing. This morning she was out early still couldn’t find her. She decided to take a break so I took our new puppies out. I went to the far back and there she was cold and injured. I called her and she came running. Somehow she injured her two hind legs. Heather carried her in and I put down her new comfy bed. First I fed her while Heather began tending to her wounds. She ate three bowls of my homemade dogfood. Now she is resting comfortably.
