No words spoken yet so much said, solitary suddenly comes to an end. When I hear this sound my worries cease and with his presence I find my peace. A whisper of jingles and nails on the floor, loud barking as I close my car door. It's a canine chorus that brings me comfort, and the candy-cane toy. Although my socks are all over the place and most mornings I can only find one shoe. I am never angry or aggravated, or even a tiny bit upset. No worries of being shy because I have my companion and sidekick wandering by my side. When the world grows old and loud, he never lets me down. Shutting out the noise and canceling the sound.
