Curiosity

My wife an I bought a beautiful dog named Joey from the pound. We proceeded to call him Oliver after the orphan boy Oliver Twist because we rescued him from the pound. The thing that caught our eye more than anything was his curiosity. As we were walking into the pound hall being hounded by the obnoxious barking of some 30 dogs Oliver caught our eyes. Instead of following suit and barking at us the intruders to these dogs society he was busy following a piece of paper as the wind tossed it to and fro. We have fallen in love with him despite his obnoxious behaviour at times.

This evening we watched the comedy Marley and Me. It was a really good emotional pulling movie about a family and there dog. Believe it or not both Katie and I were wheeping as we watched the family have to put the dog to sleep. Needless to say we are dreading the day we have to put him to sleep.
