Upon further reflection- Lela had some additional thoughts on the subject: 

"Hey Dad, I can see inside the real you

All the thoughts and the feelings in all that you do

We're kindred spirits, we see life the same

We find love, joy, and kindness never looking for blame

How can it be, you're so big and I'm small

But together we find ways to connect through it all

The sunrises we see, the beaches we walk

While our languages differ, yet always we talk

We experience the world from our own unique view

But we love unconditionally, our differences few

They say that this life's not about money or fame

But that joy's in the present, a most glorious game

Thanks for creating this life that we share

We're blessed beyond measure, and oh what a pair

So onward we go, adventure we seek

The next ocean or river or high mountain peak"

I may prefer yours! 😆

This is amazing, Mark… and in particular I’ve thought about this a lot myself: “…our languages differ, yet always we talk.”

Isn’t it fascinating how much dogs can “say” without ever speaking a word?

Thank you for brightening my day with your words… I mean with Lela’s words ❤️❤️❤️

It’s remarkable indeed, Mike. As you originally shared via Rocky- “Dogs get it”!
