Big Dog vs. Little Dog or Who Gets to Sleep on the Bed? - 11/07/07 09:10 AM
My father passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from a heart attack last July. He and my Mom had gotten a little Australian Silkie Terrier named Kitty Marie about 10 years before to be a companion to their Yorkie, Bubba.(full moniker - Bubbalicious, don't ya love it)  Mom and Bubba were gone but Kitty remained. An orphan.
She was all alone. Abandoned.  An orphan, like me.                           
I brought her home with me and the retraining began. 
 She is 8.5 lbs. soaking wet. 
 I am  petite  but more than 12 times her size.

Each smallest act
of kindness                                                                  
reverberates  
across
great
distances
and spans of time,
affecting lives
unknown
 to the one
whose generous
spirit was the source
 of this good echo, because kindness is passed on and grows each

                                                                                                             from This Momentous Day by H.R. White
These two little sentences can change your life.
