Dancin’ with A Good Girl

 

Today I am finishing up the holiday decor around the house.  For us, this centers around about 50 artificial trees – ranging in size from 1 inch to the infamous 4-5 foot pink tree.  I’ve put on one of Neal and Leandra’s holiday CD’s – the one with Boswell’s Lights, and I find myself inviting Dakota, the dog, to dance.  She joins right in, like most of us unsure of the steps at first.  Within moments we are dancing for 30 seconds or so, then parting, and she returns with her paw in the air anxious to dance again. 

What a gift she has brought to us with her trust and joy — from a sad 7 year-old who didn’t know the simplest commands or rules, who was saved by the words of a wise friend (thank you Mary S. – she owes you her life!) —  "Dakota really wants to be a good girl". 

Ed comes downstairs and Dakota bounds over to him…and asks him to dance. 

What a good girl.
