True Love
I thought I'd tell a tale of canine friendship for my Valentine's post.....
When Wilson was just a pup, say maybe about 7 months old, we were out for a walk. On that day, we each made a new and lasting friendship. A rambunctious chocolate lab came bounding over to greet us, shortly followed by his owner. We exchanged a few pleasantries, talked about our dogs, where we lived, etc. and then went our separate ways. This was just before Christmas, and our paths didn't cross again until maybe February. After that, we started planning our Saturday morning walks together. The dogs had company, the people had company, and friendships were built. We even progressed to dog-sitting for each other during vacations. Since Wilson (at the time) and the lab, Mousse, were both only-dogs (like an only child....), they really enjoyed their time together. For several years, we continued our regular walks together. At one point, Mousse tore his ACL and wasn't able to take long walks for nearly a year. Wilson happily went along on the swimming re-hab appointments. And then, of course, Jimmy came along, which changed routines as well. A young pup can't do the long distances. Wilson would still get to visit with his best bud, just not as often. He was always very thrilled to see Mousse. You could not mistake his joy! Jimmy may have become his little brother, but Mousse remains his soul-mate. Mousse has just turned 12, and there is no doubt he is slowing down. He's got some knee or hip issues that are starting to bother him and long walks are mostly a thing of the past. Wilson and he don't see each other too often any more. But when they do, it's like one of those sappy romantic scenes, long lost loves running towards one another with open arms. They had one of these chance encounters on their morning walks recently. Wilson has the cutest little dance he does as he sidles up to say hello. He grins ear to ear and his eyes fill with love. I had my camera with me that day, but wasn't really able to capture it. It all happened so quickly and I fumbled for the camera that was tucked in my coat. But, here, albeit a bit blurry, is what canine love looks like ......
