Incredible Xmas Surprise!!!

It is three days before Christmas and I was feeling sad up until now. See a year ago, today, my dog ran away. He was a dumb-as-heck, goofy German Shepard. He would chase his own shadow and run after his own tail. Several times, he was even chased home by the local tom cat. I would talk to him & give him commands and he would just stare back at me with that dumb “lets-go-out-and-play” look. His ears half bent and that tongue just hanging there salivating. That funny look of innocence. I miss that look and I miss playing with him.

All he ever wanted was to play ball in the rubble piles that once stood as an old Brown-stone – proud of its heritage. He just wanted to fetch and have fun and just be with me. He was my dog smart or not.

But now I am happier then ever, because today he came back! A year later, to the day, he came back smarter than ever. Its almost as if he went off to boot camp to learn a few tricks! He came back fully trained and able to do tricks. Tricks like chasing after Frisbees and catching them in the air. He is now sure of himself and chased that tom cat up a light pole. Truly an amazing transformation! I would love that.
