Lovely story of a relationship that ,it seems to me,is beautiful for both of you. My dog Cora is one of my best friends. I call her Joy Doggie. I have two signals that remind me to stop and recognize something for which I am grateful. Cora's wagging tail is one of them. A red light is the other. Thanks for the tribute to your dog!

Our Hymie is also still nervous and rankled by sound. And he's eight years more trusting and friendly than when we found him. Thank you for sharing the love... xoxox

Thanks for reading, Billie. I love the name Hymie, I’ve seen his photos. We’re so lucky to have them in our lives.

She's very sweet -- and it must, truly, have been meant to be that you wound up together. I love this phrase, "radical acceptance." Your approach with her is amazing, and I'm sure you feel as lucky to have her as she does you. It is interesting how they can bring out the best in us.
