ON THE BACK BURNER

You know that line that Gump says about “ life is like a box of chocolate,etc” ? Well little did I expect a small dog ro come into my life. My upstairs neighbor decided to get a dog. She remembered knowing someone who had something  do with rescue dogs. The friend had 4 rescue foster dogs in her home and one was getting “ too comfortable “, and she thought that the pup is now ready for adoption. The friend could concentrate on helping her 3 remaining dogs  and get them ready for adoption. That is where I came in. My neighbor decided that she couldn’t handle the steps to her second floor with  a dog. So I now have a small dog ,hard to  tell yet what she is, the rescue gave her a home hair cut. She is suitably scruffy enough, blond, and seems lovable, and is house trained. I have only one second thought and that is she may be a howler. I agreed to take her on trail. Right now ,she, named Dixie, is sleeping on my bed. So far so good. I feel really good having this little girl in the house with me. It’s what I want. I hope she gets the message. No howling. She is not a Beagle.At least I don’t think so.
