Here is my daughter behind the bullhorn coaching a college crew team. In the fall. On the water at Stone Mountain, Georgia. And there is her ‘firstborn’–a beloved black lab who goes everywhere she goes that it is at all possible for her to go.
My daughter is four months pregnant now. And she has given up coaching her college crew team. And she told me this weekend that Mel has become very protective. And she wonders how this will play out as the weeks and months go by.
I predict that Mel will continue to be as close as she can be to her beloved human. And that they will play out the balancing act that is life…together for many years.
