Dogs remember

[cScjhb]

I bought my trike from a dealer who purchased it from the widow of the prior owner. It has substantial fender racks on the rear fenders that I wish were not there. Three or four weeks ago I was fueling up and a lady getting gas behind me approached and asked me about my trike. She and her late husband were the prior owners. We had a nice conversation and realized we live close to each other. She said the fender racks were for a dog carrier for their little dog.

Last Sunday I was stopped at a long stop light with a group of other bikes. I could see the back half of an SUV 2 lanes over with a dog staring at me. It was a black and white Boston Terrier (I think). The dog was not barking or anything.... Just fixated and staring at me. I got on the CB and commented to the group about the dog and someone said he probably just wanted to go for a ride. As the light changed and traffic moved, I realized the dog was in the same SUV I had seen the PO in three or four weeks earlier. I got a little choked up.....

Dogs are amazing..... Jim

They are indeed amazing! All vehicles have their own “sound” and “look”...just ask any dog owner who has observed their dog get so excited when your husband or wife pulls into the driveway... This dog was in deja-vue... trying to see if the rider was his old buddy..the vehicle was right...at least he still has mom to comfort him.. thanks for this post Jim.

Our two Boxers are toward the end of their lives,11 and 12 and us too we miss all our fur babies but we have decided no more dogs. We want to travel more and having dogs will just hold us back, when we get to the point that we can or no longer travel or feel the urge to travel we will think about another dog. Until then we will go visit our 3 grand dogs and our friends pups. And yes dogs are one of Gods best creations.

I think God should have stopped at dogs and passed on creating humans. Humans are too selfish and inconsiderate. Most anyway and their number is growing rapidly. JMHO
