It was a particularly gruelling night at work last night and I was somewhat jaded when I returned home.
A message from Trendy Carol’s Husband lifted my mood.
It simply said
“ I’ll pick the dogs up at 10.30”
And so safe in the thought they would be looked after whilst I slept, I walked and fed them, then went to bed, for a proper sleep.
Trendy Carol’s hubby I will call Owain
Without Owain, I couldn’t have kept my dogs for as long as I have.
From the first time that I had to return to work after retiring, he jumped into the breech and took care of them when I needed him to.
This weekend I’m popping up to York to see an old friend and Owain will be there treating the dogs as if they were his own.
And he refuses any payment, just allowing me to take him to appointments and picking up pharmacy and the like.
The world runs on kindnesses like his
And I thank him for it
You are loved, by the community that you love.
ReplyDeleteYou have the best friends! Sorry work was so hard tho, a good rest was much needed.
ReplyDeleteOwain is a prince of a friend as well as being a dog lover. Mary and Roger must love him right back! Sweet!

Fyodor Dostoevsky said words to the effect of beauty will save the world but I think it is kindness.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds reciprocal. You take care of each other.
ReplyDeleteKindness begets kindness. xx
