Humans Need a Tail to Wag!
I
had a play date with my brother in honor of our upcoming 8th birthdays. We were born into a litter of 6. My owner took my
boy out to see us all. He picked me. Yes! Then my owner’s very close friend picked out two of my other siblings.
One of her picks, Cody, died last year. He looked just like me. He was a wonderful dog. It was very
sad. My other brother, Rain does not look like me. He is all black, thinner, and very handsome.
We all went to a dog park. But once we got there, it was clear we had very different personalities. Rain ran up to
all the other dogs to meet and greet, and was very happy to play fetch with his owner.
I had never been to this
park before, so I had to walk around and sniff everything to get a lay of the land. And, as far as the many balls that
were there were concerned, I wanted my owner to throw one up in the air so I could jump and catch it. But, my favorite
activity was to find sticks in the snow, lie down and chew. Yum!
We were there for an hour. Afterwards, we exchanged
presents. I gave Rain candy cane cookies, and he gave me yummy treats. We wagged good-bye to each other and got
back into our own cars not knowing when we would see each other again.
I thought about that on the way home. Unlike
human siblings, when Rain and I were separated a birth it was ok. When our siblings ended up in different families, we were
fine. When we did not know when we would see each other again, no problem. We just wagged our tails and went off to play as
if it were yesterday.
Human affairs are so much more complicated. All that separation from siblings would
never be ok with them. I feel sorry for humans sometimes. Maybe they need a tail. Maybe it’s all in the wag. How
else does one show unconditional love like it was yesterday?
Have
a waggy weekend!
PS-16 inches of snow starting tomorrow!!?? I’m wagging in my sleep!
This puts human relationships to shame!
