A #dog's beatific #smile

I love smiling at you.

          At the halfway point of our walk this morning, I made a little clicking noise and Gizmo immediately stopped, turned around and started back the way we came.  He really wanted a longer walk, but I had a pulled muscle and didn’t want to go any further.

            Instead of looking sad or even angry, my #dog gave me the most beatific smile, as if to say, “Just being with you is enough for me.  I love you so very much.”

            A dog’s smile and his radiating happiness: something that makes my day special, every day.
