Adi was retired -- In more ways than one
Adi died in 2012
Adi; our Beagle Dog;
sort of
Adi was my granddog
Google never liked her
mostly because granddog
was spelled with
two words in
her sad dictionary
Adi was a grand dog
and was our granddog.
Adi came to live with us
when our daughter could
not keep Beagle Dogs in
her new apartment so she
had stayed with us for the
rest of her life.
Adi and I were registered
as a pet therapy couple
We were tested every year
She loved to visit
the Alzheimer wing
Every resident loved her
and she loved them in return
One day Adi's mom came to visit
Hubby had come along
Adi didn't know they were coming
I didn't want her to get
her hopes up too far ahead
of time
watch the video
below
to see our daughter's welcome

- I'm linked with NaPoWriMo 2022 Day Seventeenth for the prompt, "Dog",
- This is a fun one – it’s a prompt developed by the comic artist Lynda Barry, and it asks you to think about dogs you have known, seen, or heard about, and then use them as a springboard into wherever they take you.

I enjoyed this, Jim. How wonderful, that you could help your daughter and make Adi such a part of your life. And that she could be a therapy dog! Fantastic.
"Pets" certainly have a super power - an unfailing way of creating a pocket of warmth in our hearts. Dogs, especially. Cats, not so much. ;)
