Old Dogs
“I wished I’d gotten him sooner,” Epiphany said, bending down
to scratch Mojo’s belly. “I don’t know how
much time I’ll have with him.”
“When he goes, will you adopt another old dog, or get a puppy?”
I asked.
Epiphany didn’t hesitate. “I’ll get another old dog.” She
looked at Talmadge and me and laughed. “I discovered I have a place in my heart
for old dogs.”
“And why is that, missy?” Talmadge asked, just a hint of a
sneer in his voice.
“Old dogs are low maintenance, high joy. They don’t demand much, they appreciate what you do for them, which makes you happy. The world would be a better place if everyone was like an old dog.”
Today I’ll try to be more like an old dog, low maintenance, high
joy.
