Gonna Rescue Me a Dog

Oh, I want a new dog.  Not because I'm lonely, not because I'm blue. I have lots of friends, and a sweet affectionate cat. But, I love the companionship of a special canine. Dogs offer a kind of loyalty unlike anything I've experienced. I've come to believe the human ego makes unconditional love impossible.

It would be easy to find a new dog.  There are so many out there in need of a home. Finding a soul mate is a greater challenge -- not one I'll give up on -- but love me, love my dog.

I have also come to realize that I'm not the only one who misses having a dog.  Wanda, my cat has been frequenting the back porch across the street to hang out with the neighbor's dogs.  The kitty enjoys the canine company as well.

Wanda and Cocoa - friends until the end.

Maybe there's a song in this, or a painting.  The best is yet to come....
