There have been plenty of times when I’ve looked at people and wondered, “What in the world are they thinking?” But have you ever stared back at your own face in the mirror and wondered that about yourself?
You might say I’ve been doing a lot of self-reflection over the past five or six months. For those who read this column regularly, you’ll remember that my wife and I sent our youngest son off to college last fall. That made us empty nesters for the first time in over 25 years.
But apparently, we don’t do well with “empty” in our house. I guess we decided with the loss of our Brittany Spaniel last year, it was time to fill the house back up. So, like any good dog lovers, we didn’t just add one new puppy, we got two. First, we got a Braque d'Auvergne, which is just a fancy way of saying French pointer. But you can’t go hunting for pheasants if you don’t have a good retriever, right? So we added a Golden Retriever to the mix a couple months later. |
