Shortly after Colby joined our family, I opened the front door one evening following a heavy afternoon thunderstorm, to find both of my boys standing on the porch...
They were sopping wet, with huge, goofy grins on their faces. A bit bashful, Jonny explained that they had been romping around in the puddles, having the time of their lives. I felt like an old schoolmarm tisk-tisking away at them, rubbing Colby down with a towel and sending Jonny upstairs to change out of his muddy clothes. And I was smiling too.
We started obedience classes with our dog last night. It has been about 2 weeks since we added him to our household. He has become our best buddy. And I have been reflecting on this fact...
