Keeping Faith

Part of the "skill set" of being a dog mother is keeping faith. It's about watching out for them, worrying when they hit the cold water, fretting over every little issue: a limp, a torn paw pad, an extra scratch.

But they also keep faith with me, worrying when I am late getting home, licking a tiny wound, making sure they know it's time for me to head to bed.

Keeping faith is a two way street.

Murphy's day.
