My three legged dog, Kaylee starts wagging her tail the minute she hears Linda drive up. She chatters at the door until the doorbell rings and then goes in a circles of delight when she walks in. I am only briefly jealous because she doesn't greet me like that. I have known Linda for five years and she is always the same level and happy lady. She has a way with dogs that calms them immediately. They seem to know her heart and remember her kindness no matter how long it's been since the last time. When we sit down for a chat, my pup sits at her feet and stares at me as if to say, "Why can't you be this cool?" Dogs are family. I know how important their care must be. It always feels like, "Tia Linda is here. We'll be just fine"
