I have a dog. I feel, give, and receive exponentially more love to people every day because he is in my life then I ever did before. You're right. Dogs can't tell. That's why we owe them more. He makes me a better person.

But you did all of the right things. <br /><br />You know, a friend of mine at work has given me some very simple advice which I'm trying hard to follow: just do the right thing. <br /><br />I love how wonderful things became for you after all of that; you could hear the kids in P.S. 8, see the irises and imagine all of the good things ahead for you.

Our oldest so...What a terrifying moment for you. <br /><br />Our oldest son, then 15, was walking our Daisy-dog on her leash in the city and let her snozzle around in the debris near the gutter for a moment. That was the moment a Type-A mom dropping her kid at the JCC and yakking on her cell phone chose to zoom her SUV over to the curb so the kid could get out for his swim lesson. Veered right over both of Daisy's hind legs with her rear tire. <br /><br />It all ended OK, albeit with multiple stitches and paw-pads like hamburger for a while, and permanent scars and bald spots. Our son felt TERRIBLE. My heart ached for him. <br /><br />The woman in the SUV? She let her son out and took off, still on her cell phone, leaving my son cradling a bleeding Daisy on the sidewalk. A lovely woman who witnessed it helped him lift Daisy into her pickup truck and drove them home.<br /><br />It must have been difficult to tell Mr. "Henry". It was the right thing to do.

The difference is that I can squeeze the brains out of Henry & he couldn't tell his people what had happened. The Bad part of me considered not telling them but I'd be SO upset if it was Daisy.<br /><br />Pets are unconditional love. They don't love us that way -- that's what everyone gets wrong -- it's humans who need & dote on the pets beyond anything another human could put up with.<br /><br />I hope you find that love some day.Frances Kuffelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14928021465309402200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-84467317184919013392009-05-17T19:58:00.000-04:002009-05-17T19:58:00.000-04:00Hi Frances,

I think maybe it is because I am decidedly NOT a pet person (I don't wish them any harm, mind you, I just don't have that "pet people" feeling). Pet people scare me with the intensity of emotion they carry for their cat or dog... or anybody's cat or dog, for that matter. Fellow humans rarely get that kind of consideration from pet people...<br /><br />Even if I didn't understand some of what you were trying to share, I still enjoyed the read and I am relieved to hear that Henry is fine. Good luck with the next week of revisions and enjoy Prague. I bet you'll see dogs while you are there, too. Pet people always notice when animals are about...Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036007550826655610noreply@blogger.com
