Duke, my Chocolate Labrador, turned 6 a couple of days ago. I thought of him when typing about kindness. When I’m sick in bed he quietly lays next to me, keeping me warm and watching over me, never leaving my side–a quiet watchful sentinental.
I work alone and he loves to stay under my desk, his muzzle resting on my feet. It is nice to have his company. With him I’m never alone.
I’m blessed with good friends, and Duke is one of the best.
He’s not perfect. He has flaws like me. But he forgives me mine, and I try to return the favor every chance I get.
