“A single "woof" ---Mike was waiting watching. He jumped the busted fence when he saw me coming rushed over so he could greet me properly. I dropped to one knee soaked up Mike's welcome and everything about my bad day ran off me like rainwater rushing along the edge of the road to the drain. Having someone who loves you enough to wait in the dreary weather someone who's happy to see you no matter what mood you're in... there's nothing better than that.”
