“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.” ~Helen Keller
Good Boy (part II)
For every door that’s closed, another
Opens and reveals
Something that you’ll love as much
Something that appeals
A month ago, our Husky, Bear
Departed and broke hearts
But where one old life ends is where
Another young life starts
We made the trip to Wallenstein
And met with some fine folks
Who had just two small Huskies left
The small blond one did coax
Immediately he jumped up and
With paws up he did whine
I picked him up and realized
Right then that he was mine
He snuggled into my arms and
A hush fell over him
He started falling fast asleep
As his eyes became dim
We took him home and cared for him
The first few nights, no sleep!
But this good boy did catch on quick
And let his training seep
He picked up going outside to
Relive himself quite fast
Amazing how long his tiny
Puppy bladder can last
He also put himself to bed
In less than a whole week
“Good boy!” we said as he laid
And let out a soft squeak
I’ll always miss my Big Smelly
But when I run beside
This little blonde bundle of fur
My smile grows quite wide
It feels good to be running on
Husky power once more
You’re just as good a boy, Blondie
As our Husky before
