 Here’s what I’m learning

About dogs:

• Dogs are the American way, the pursuit of happiness.  I know this because everyone seems to have one.  Eeeevery body.
• All things are toys.  Including me.
• Dogs love people more than people love people.

About living not-so-alone with a dog:

• A dog keeps me from becoming completely self-absorbed.  I have to feed him too, bathe him too, spend time with him too.
• I think I’m giggling more.  Did you just run full blast into the wall?  Are you chasing your tail?
• My dog likes me, which makes me think of my Bill, because Bill liked to be with me.  I like feeling likable.

Have you read this quote?  Jamie Anderson said, “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love… love with no place to go.”

But… God always gives our love a new place to go.  Snoopy is here because Bill is not.  God provided a dog for my love to land.
