For the past week, Herself was fortunate to be able to spend some time with a cheerful young canine with camel-like eyelashes and an enthusiasm for sniffing. He is a sweet fellow, slightly timid around other dogs, patient with people, and clever enough to learn to play a bit of Fetch. He enjoys lying in a spot of sunlight. Good boy, Dog.
Dog was trying out a partnership with a new designated human. The attempt was, from the start, an uncertain venture into an unknown land: a risk. And the particular arrangement did not work out for several well-founded reasons. Nevertheless, Herself is quite optimistic that Dog will soon find the right situation without difficulty. He has been in good hands, and will be so again.
She hopes the human is not self-critical. A step outside of a comfort zone was taken, and a solid effort was made. A bit of wisdom was gained. That is always a good thing.
