I got my dog “fix” last week with the arrival of family who brought
their family dog.
Noche (pronounced No-Chay) is a beautiful German Shepherd who stole my heart.
Or maybe my heart was ready to be stolen missing Rozie.
Noche found Rozie’s toy bin and brought out each piece with
loving care and then claimed a weather beaten hedgehog as her own.
She claimed Rozie’s washed and ready-to-wear orthopedic bed too
and nestled in.
I like to think she claimed us as hers along with all the rest.
My lovely niece and little brother and sister-in-law were here too.
What a joy to see them all.
But Noche stole the show and somehow I think she knew –
she helped to heal my broken heart.
