COLD NOSES & WAGGING TAILS

By Lori Carmody 

Our first dogs taught me about complete acceptance and love beyond all bounds.  Rhody and Dandy were the constant joy factors in our lives…ALWAYS happy to see us, ALWAYS by our side, ALWAYS there to remind us we had a friend.  I miss them.


Our next little guy, Tucker, taught me about comfort.  He was there when Matt left for college and our family went from 4 to 3 living under our roof.  Tucker was still with us when Kaitie went to college and we became empty nesters at home.  Although he barked a lot and that got on our nerves, his barking was something I treasured when Tom traveled and I was in the house alone at night.  Tucker was my consummate guard dog and sofa lapdog.  I miss him.
Donald Hicks writes, “Those who teach the most about humanity aren’t always humans”.  I agree.  Dogs bring hope, loyalty, companionship and unbridled love to the world.

It has been said that the day God made dogs, He just sat down and smiled.   

I think that is just about right.

Thanks for reading.

NOTE:   A friend of mine, Diane Odegard Gockel, is a children’s book author.  She has two books that are “written” by rescued dogs.
