In the afternoon, when I lie down for a bit, Bud hopes up onto my lap, I scratch his chin and rub his belly a bit, and then we both doze off for a few minutes. This is a very peaceful moment for me, and it is a spiritual connection, a kind of communion.
I’m not sure what the connection point is between Bud and me, but I do believe that Bud and me, like Red and me, have a reason to be together. You get the dogs you need.
