Deception can be fun.
I miss my dog every day. Losing a pet sticks with you for the rest of your life, even if you come to have another, and I haven’t. Jakey was a beautiful tricolor Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who loved to run. Ask him if it was time to go to the park and he would whimper with anticipation until we made it to the nearby soccer fields. That little guy could sprint most of that field, catch his squeaky ball out of the air as it bounded, and gallop it back to me ready for more.
