A happy memory of Lady

LADY
A STILL-YOUNG LADY
I think my favorite memory of Lady came shortly after we got her.

 She'd gotten out of the yard (again), and I was ready to go look for her. Then I noticed a fluffy tail waving in a neighbor's yard.

 As I walked toward her, she noticed me. She looked happy as she raced toward me. I lowered my upper body and spread my arms; she jumped into my arms and started licking my face.

 I carried her inside (she was maybe 40 pounds then) to get her leash; then we went for a walk.

 We had other great memories, but that one still stands out. She couldn't look happier, and I felt the same way.

A visitor in my room

DIXIE AND ME
I was just watching a Miami Dolphin video on my laptop, and I heard a snort inside my bedroom.

 I looked up and saw that the bedroom door was ajar. So I looked down and noticed Dixie sitting on the carpet, waiting for me to notice her.

 So I got up, opened the door, let her out and came back to the computer.

 I didn't mind her coming into my room. Maybe she was lonely. Our last dog, Lady, often came into my room. I'd be laying on my back, with my hand off the bed, and I'd feel a wet nose, warm tongue or fuzzy ears. And a doggy smile.

 Dixie just isn't as adventurous as Lady was.
