“I talk to him when I’m lonsome like; and I’m sure he understands. When he looks at me most attentively, and gently licks my hands; then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught thereat. For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothers, but never a friend like that.” — W. Dayton Wedgefarth.
Friends
My grandson, David, and two of his best friends. Scout and Levi. I didn’t take this picture, but it’s one of my favorites. I think my son, D.C. took it.

It’s a lovely photo of your son with his two best mates, Pat; faithful companions.
Thanks Barb
Yes indeed, a lovely photo where everyone is happy!
It’s easy to be happy when you are touching a dog.
He looks happy 🙂
He is, I think, a happy person. He’s also a nuclear engineer, which I doubt anyone would every guess from this photo.
