A shoo-in for Harvard she is!

What human can

sniff her way home

in the damp woods,

turn on the right path that leads to

her own back door?

What savvy, what

intelligence!

She solves a puppy puzzle in

record time, knows

when to please and

just when to tease.

Who says old dogs can’t learn new tricks? In just one week

a new dog has

taught this old dog

to be patient,

work less, play more, get up early and see the stars,

seek joy in the

smallest things, a

crackly leaf,

sunrise, sunset, tummy rubs, wild geese, juicy worms,

and most of all

the sweet warmth of

absolute love.
