My Comeuppance

Over at HMS Blog they’ve been asking us to submit things for which we’re thankful. I sent in that I was thankful for the enthusiasm of my dog. So last night, which was a late one, when I finally got home and to bed, I experienced the flip side of puppy enthusiam. He just had to get petting from me and the chance to lick my hands. I just wanted to sleep, but sleep doesn’t come to a man who has 85 pounds of dog insisting on his full attention. Still, the enthusiasm and affection are wonderful things.
