Happy Day


Focusing on all the current events and the many challenges of life, we sometimes overlook some of life's happy events. Saw this today and it lifted my spirits. A woman with a new dog.

United Airlines Airfreight in Denver goes out of their way for dog owners with this facility. The only public restroom for the entire airfreight terminals is at United and I always need to pee. Afterwards I pull over by this facility to prepare the medical specimens for shipment, about a fifteen minute process.

This lady had just received her new pup. Scared and nervous, the beast was carried in her arms to the pet area. In the fifteen minutes I was there the dog went from scared to  playful. Warmed my old cynical heart to see the simple pleasure of the woman and her dog as they became acquainted. 

If someone wants to accuse me of being a closeted romantic I have no defense. Pets and small children? Yes, I am a sucker.

No, from a breeder.

It is difficult to maintain a harden hart when a puppy is around. I also have noticed that many of the tough, bad guys, are always gentile with little kids. Well, most of them anyway. They seem to realize that they might give the kid a better life than they had or something. I'm pleases me to know you still have a heart for the sweet things in life.

Yep, not completely harden.
