Make no mistake, dogs know calculus. My own dog can work out all the math involved to determine exactly when and where a projectile will be at an exact point in time, and then be there to meet it. She obviously isn’t doing math, but she is working things out using her emotional intelligence, and she is rarely wrong. I don’t know how she does it, but what I do know though is that she definitely has the formula for joy worked out.
This is the newest addition to our family. He showed up at our door and just never left. He’s shown amazing patience with Roxy, which went a long way to convincing us to take him in. He’s a handsome guy, don’t you think?
After over 2 years apart, Amanda and I are finally back together. Our family has shrunk considerably during that time, having lost our cats Willy and Mao, and then Delta just a few months ago. It’s just the 4 of us now, Jackie, Roxy, Amanda and me. Though we have moved across the country to a new place and a new life, it has never felt as much like home as it does now. Welcome home.
