I’m always saying that Raymond seems to like everyone better than me.
When people come to visit he hops and jumps on them.
When I come home, nuthin’.
Well this morning something wonderful happened.
David sent me an email, “Coffee?”
This means come on over and sit on my terrace while I read aloud parts of the paper that insult Obama.
“Sure” I said, “My coffee will be ready in a minute but I’ll bring the boys over.” which I did.
Elvis casually sauntered over while Ray ran over and jumped around David trying to kiss him.
Then I went back to my house and got my coffee.
It was about 10 minutes until I returned.
When I did, Raymond was sitting on David’s lap looking tiny.
As soon as he saw me he jumped off and ran to me jumping and hopping.
That’s when I realized. Maybe he doesn’t get excited when I come home because he expects me to be there. When I left him alone at David’s, maybe he was afraid that I was going to leave him there just as he’d been left before.
I’m not worried any more. I know my dog loves me as much as I loved him the moment Julie showed me the picture of of him in the pound.
67 and dumped 
How you could not fall in love with Raymond!!! So glad he treated you to a joyful greeting when you returned to David’s place…warms the heart doesn’t it 🙂 Have a lovely weekend Mattie.
I know, isn’t he cute? Every time I look at that picture it hurts my heart.
Is Raymond a brindle.
yep.
Surely you can find a guy who loves and appreciates you. David is losing out
I guess you haven’t read my whole blog. David is my dear friend Liz’s fiancé. He is just a neighbor and a friend. Also I found 2 guys who love and appreciate me, Elvis and Raymond.
In the photo above, it looks like Raymond can do a special trick with his ear, like curling it into a ball! Then I realized it was an circular object on the wall. Even if he cant do that, I can see that he is a special doggy. Lucky are we to have critters in our lives, and I love to hear about yours! So much more gratifying than men.
Love that Raymond. There’s nothing like the greeting you get from your dog, even if you’ve only taken the trash out!
