I still will work hard cleaning after them and mopping and feeding them and whispering their names in a soft, loving way. I will wear the gleaming sweat on my throat, like a jewel. And I will be an embarrassment to all ... and my family, who have not yet found the peace in being free to have dogs as your best friends .... these friends who always wait, at any hour, for your footfall ... and eagerly jump to their feet out of a sound sleep, to greet you as if you are a God.
