And then there was two…for the time being

Boo and Delilah

Boo Radley has joined us.  I never considered D being a nugget of a dog…but she is…she is a nugget.  I’m still startled when Boo leaps onto the bed like a wild antelope that has decided to join me.  Not only do I have four little feet following me into the kitchen to cook or to the table to eat or to my single chair to computer, I now have an additional set of four big hooves with a sloppy wet nose and slightly gassy back end…but I couldn’t be happier.  Without having a back yard that they can freely run, I am now taking many walks.  D is a more spritely while Boo will tend to stop in a heavy stance when he feels the need to test me.  In a low demanding “BOO” he returns to join the pack as we travel around the bend.  I do not care that I use my swiffer twice a day to collect fur bunnies that congregate near the dinning chairs and under the bed.  Nor do I care that I diligently cut raw meat and carrots each and every night or that it takes two plastic bags to clean up one of Boo’s potty breaks.  (small dogs equal small poo…hence the choice of a doxie mix)…none of it matters because Boo Radley is a big love and I cannot imagine him not being here.  Who knew that Boo from LA would be a part of my life one day.  Who knew?  Well, Peter knew…Peter also knew a year before it happened that in February I’d be leaving the first week in my own car, departing the state of California.  Who’s Peter?  He’s for another time.  No…he’s not for the R rated version of this blog…but truly, for another time.

Boo Radley…thank you for accepting Delilah and I as your own.  We sure do like you.
