Dogs, Dogs, Dogs

I spent the weekend with CCI dogs. They aren’t regular dogs; they are Service Dogs from Canine Companions for Independence. Thirty-eight pups in training were headed to canine college and nine were placed with folks that need them. There were a few dozen more just there watching. The day was a caricature of happiness full of dogs larger than life, making lives larger. Dogs, dogs everywhere dogs. Black dogs, yellow dogs, little dogs and big dogs. Dogs that play and dogs that lay. Dogs that do whatever I say. Dogs with coats and coats that shine. Dogs everywhere that do not whine. There were dogs in training and dogs that are trained. Dogs that were licking and dogs in the rain. Dogs helping boys and picking up toys. Dogs pulling wheelchairs and dogs going upstairs. Dogs, dogs, dogs helping dogs everywhere!

It was marvelous.
