Duncan

I still marvel at this little guy.  When I first got him,  he was scared when we picked him up.  He would just crawl around us.  He didn't know what a bed was.  Now he is a totally different dog.  He wants to be picked up and held and cuddled.  Today when I was out back with them, he lost sight of me and headed for the gate to wiggle out and find me.  I was watching him and called his name.  He turned around and came running to me to be picked up.  I picked him up and hugged him, then he was ready to get down and explore some more.  He is now asleep on my bed.  It never ceases to amaze me how animals can just give unconditional love and acceptance.  It's like "just love me."  Our four legged creatures are truly the best part of the animal kingdom.  Humans are like locusts.  They move in and destroy everything, then move on to something else.  They remind me of the creatures in Independence Day.  I think maybe we have it all backwards.  I think that the animals are the ones with a direct path to the Pearly Gates and mankind will have to swirl in limbo to make up for what they have done to our planet.
