Dog-sitting

[ashetlandpony]

I'm dog-sitting for a friend of a friend for a few days. I was surprised and honored to be asked, and without hesitation, I accepted. I've really missed having a dog around the house, and I thought this would be just the ticket to lift my spirits.

Unexpectedly, though, I'm finding that having these dogs here has made me miss Bucky more than ever, so it's not the healing experience I'd hoped it would be. That's discouraging. Clearly, it's not canine companionship per se that I'm missing, but the companionship of one dog in particular, and unfortunately, he's not ever coming back...
