It is quite possible that - for me - the "icing" on the proverbial parenting "cake" is ...

... Lazslow, who stands just close enough to me that his tail taps on my thigh incessantly - tapping out all the messages he sends to me each day:

I'm here! Did you notice me? I think I can talk- just listen. Food now. I can get there faster than you can, wherever you're going - let's race! just watch me go! Out now! Pet my butt. SQUIRREL! In now! Oh wait, out again!

I love my dog, he's good to me and I feel safer with him around. But I do think it's safe to call him the icing on the cake. Or would it be more precise to say, the straw on the donkey's back?

I miss going to the dog park with Lazslow and Pat. He is such a great dog.
