Read something recently about how people and dogs have evolved beside each other for so many tens of thousands of years, and while the human thinks he has shaped the evolution of the dog, the dog knows he has shaped the evolution of the human just as profoundly.<br /><br />Hope Wilf is coming out of the downside of this cycle and will be back to enjoying every hour of every day, and sleeping peacefully every hour of the night.<br /><br />Jed & AbbyJed and Abby in MerryLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782709825274199133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-58326512433180630002012-04-15T20:51:12.527+02:002012-04-15T20:51:12.527+02:00Thank you for sharing the poem...wonderful.Thank you for sharing the poem...wonderful.rottroverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040584911302243673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-18348544409879877272012-04-15T06:26:18.745+02:002012-04-15T06:26:18.745+02:00Great Poem, so true.

It helped immensely in encouraging me to appreciate every day we have. Yesterday old dog was standing and wagging her tail at the vet..begging for treats. Vet smiled and said that with older dogs it is always peaks and valleys.
