We have been gone for a little over three weeks and we left our six month old puppy with our daughter who owns our pup's sister. Our 13 year old malmute/lab mix knows when we are going someplace by watching the suitcases being dragged out and gets depressed. We take them to my daughters, the pups play, the 13 year old gives us that wary eye.....I want to go....do not leave me.
Upon return, the pup just goes nuts.....she wags her tail off and jumps in our laps and literally licks our faces off.....not for five minutes, but for an hour. The first thing that struck me was how fricking ugly our german shepard, lab, hound dog mix was, and how she had a face only her mother could love, but a half hour later she was the most beautiful dog which ever existed. The human mind is an amazing thing as it distorts reality. The 13 year old greeted us and was happy, but then she had to do the obligatory pout......the one that says you left me with these two crazy pups.....thanks.
We get home and the creatures of habit pick up right where they left off, and you wonder if only the world and humans could learn the love between a puppy and a human, we would live in a better world.
