My Ole Hound Dog

I was having one of “those” mornings being all boo-hoo and feeling sorry for myself just counting the ways that things were so uncool when my ole hound-dog came up and nuzzled my thigh I reached down and rubbed his ears and got to thinking do hound-dogs ever get the boo-hoos and I realized yeah, they probably do with that revealing flash of insight I got down on my knees and gave my ole hound-dog a hug so tight that it hitched my breathing he got to wagging and licking tossing his head and smiling and I got to making all that talking-to-my-ole-hound-dog-baby-talk while we were having ourselves a good ole time together I got to thinking again when you get the boo-hoos and start feeling sorry for yourself what you must try and do is give comfort to someone else and if the closest someone else is your very own wag-licking ole hound-dog then you just get down on your knees and let that comfort flow while I was doing just that and we were nose-to-nose we looked into each other’s eyes and I had another revealing flash of insight I wasn’t giving comfort to my ole hound-dog he was giving comfort to me.
