After a summer holiday and assisting my guardian in her writing projects, we’re back to volunteering. Our first gig was at The McGill Grad fair.
Here I am with some grad students. I wasn’t too happy about being in this photo as you can tell. Not relaxed at all.

I love a good back rub. I am with the volunteers who greeted me with such warmth at the door.

And here I am with George and two new volunteers. The volunteer holding me said this was her first time holding a dog. She held me like a baby. As you can see I had total confidence in her.

Great to see you back Bau … I’ve been flat out too .. woof woof 🐶 from Frankie https://share.icloud.com/photos/0e2Gg6P4uKD-cp6V64T29nYFw#Bell_Post_Hill

Welcome back, and remember what Aaron Easterly said 🙂 “Name one development in the history of humankind that has increased happiness more than the domestication of dogs.”

Hey Carol, welcome back to you and Bau – CJ and I missed you both. Our little guy has been woofin’ it all over Florida this summer. With the high gas prices, it was best to take short vaca’s. (But we live in Florida, who am I kidding??? Every day is a vacation day. Come join us!) ❤

Thank you for sharing and welcome back!… 🙂
JUST MY DOG
He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds;
My other ears that hear above the winds.
He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea.
He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being:
By the way he rests against my leg
By the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile
By the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him.
(I think it makes him sick with worry when he
is not along to care for me.)
When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive.
When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile.
When I am happy, he is joy unbounded.
When I am a fool, he ignores it.
When I succeed, he brags.
Without him, I am only another person. ,With him, I am all-powerful.
He is loyalty itself., He has taught me the meaning of devotion.
With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace.
He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant.
His head on my knee can heal my human hurts.
His presence by my side is protection against, my fears of dark and unknown things.
He has promised to wait for me…, whenever…wherever–in case I need him.
And I expect I will–as I always have.
He is just my dog.
(Author Gene Hill…)
Until we meet again….
May your day be touched
by a bit of Irish luck,
Brightened by a song
in your heart,
And warmed by the smiles
of people you love.
(Irish Saying)
