Three Word Wed -- gesture, immediate, treasure

WELCOME HOME

There's something about the wag of a tail, and
a small treasure in the smile that curls along
the lipline of a furry muzzle.

There's something in those canine gestures that
provokes a Pavlovian response and immediately
curls my own lips into a stupid grin.



*RIP Beaux, my fave canine buddy who was put to sleep this morning*

    I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know this grief intimately. You've turned it into a wonderful little observation. Who can resist smiling back?

    Having watched my 14-year-old dog, Scully pass away in June, well, this opens up a wound just scabbed over. Sorry for your loss and I totally understand your feelings here.

    I am sorry for your loss; Beaux would be proud of what you did with this prompt. Anyone who has ever had a dog as pet would totally agree with what you say here.
