Tuesday, 27 December 2005 - The new puppy

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for our neighbor's new Malamute puppy, Bode (named after downhill skier, Bode Miller).

Properly trained, a man can be dog's best friend. ~Corey Ford

It's been years since we've seen a new puppy in our immediate neighborhood. So, on Christmas Day, we were pleased to see Bode, an 8-week old Malamute, walking with his parents (the young couple who live two doors north of us). He's a real poser - loved to walk around on the driveway and then sit purposefully, as if posing for a photograph.

I spoke to his dad this morning and learned that Bode is not doing very well with crate-training. He has a lot to learn if he is going to be happy with us, humans. I guess that T will have to teach Bode a thing or two about life with people.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
