White Dog could sense Richard's underlying disquiet the moment her good friend sat down to visit. She offered a loving welcome but then gave him space to reveal in his own way/time what was going on in his head. These are hard times for good people of conscience and hope. A shared meal, true conversation, music and an adoring fluffy white puppy hopefully added to the peaceful memories brought back from his recent retreat/vacation to the Gila Wilderness. Maybe the combination will lift his spirits...or at least make him smile. Even though White Dog wishes all cats would disappear, she makes an exception, hoping that Bob, Richard's cat, comes home safe and soon . Most important, White Dog hopes Richard knows how much we care about him...which is lots.
