i knew a yellow lab named ella who had a verichip put in - she loved to get out and run around free, would lose her collar sometimes and get picked up as stray. on those best adventures she would get picked up, get fed, and be bathed - she would come home so happy afterwards like nothing's wrong. on the not so great days - the vet would get ahold of her and scan her as a means of getting her home - no bath, no food. i was really upset when she was run over and killed, had so much greif about it, wave after wave of grief just incapacitated me for a few days. i know that's what she loved to do - run free. my boys told me she got out to look for me, though when she was out running free so often she wasn't running for me - or maybe that was her game she played, hard to get. she was a great mom, a lab farm dog who had litter after litter, who would naturally gravitate to smaller dogs who resembled puppies. it amazed me how loving she was - more loving than most people i knew or know, as if the culture doesn't allow people to be so loving in such ways toward each other in some family groups, even though the human poetential for it is there - as if the culture can stiffle a person's ability to share and express love freely, though for a dumb yellow lab who doesn't know any better - it comes as natural. on many days that was my highlight, five to ten minutes flowing reiki to ella...bless her heart.
