Friends and friendship

 I was a city dog by all means. I loved playgrounds, meeting new fellow dogs and acting out. I was attacked few times by angry or jealous neutered dogs, but I didn’t keep the score. I let it go. I just learned that being diferent can stir up oceans of hate.  And according to Mommy it wasn't specific to dogs or animals,  it was a defensive tool for the less chosen, across species. She experienced it on her skin more than once. According to Darwin it is the difference between us that keeps us close together.  But I could be mistaken. In spite of my balls still hanging, I made tones of friends across species and New York City was a lot of fun. People at the lake house were even better.  Less pretentious a bit more sincere and definitely dog friendly.  My birthdays were the most celebrated parties at the lake and I , was once again the Star. We went surfing together, swimming,  paddle boating,  and so much more. Mommy had consistent friends visiting with us at the lake house and I couldn't be happier.  I had such a wonderful extended Family.
