Wednesday's Child

Look at this happy face! Gryff was such a good dog; I could never figure out why his parents couldn't see this. Not willing to let him go, but with no time for him, poor Gryff was relegated to the basement, his only time outside in the fenced backyard.

Except for Wednesdays!

Joy oh Joy for Wednesdays! Gryff's family nanny convinced his family to hire us for at least one day a week. I think Gryff had a calendar and marked off the days till we came. What a happy boy to see us! He loved his walks, loved the structure of us giving him an important job.

I remember my walks with Gryff on the pathways along Sugarland Run. Gryff was so happy to be outside, he'd take in everything like a new puppy. Toward the end of our walk, he'd plop down in Sugarland Run to cool off. I will miss him.
