I had a good hard day in the yard today. I’ve also been spending a lot of time on building this website - often, working late into the evening. That’s the case tonight, actually. It’s about 1:15AM and I’m currently trying to define “propagate” for the website, when all of a sudden this… this long gentle furry figure slowly emerges from the vast darkness that consumes all, but me, my computer and now this ferociously adorable collie, which is now staring softly and blankly into my eyes.
“Brrrp”. Bam! The furry fluff-bucket hit me with a cool crisp burp! Subtle, but clear, that burp hit me like a supernova. Joy courses through my body, while the pup awaits his reward - a little pat/scratch on the noggin says “a job well done”. I deliver. He slowly jerks his head back toward the vast black abyss and makes his way like a whale returning to the ocean deep. I watch him fade into the darkness.
It has all been worth it.
Thank you.
