Wednesdays with the Wisdom of Dog: Friendship

Not only is Miss Marie very special to me, she has a forever friend in Miss Gidget.

Yesterday was the first time Marie came to my house and we sat in my writing cottage chattering away like two birds who had not seen each other in a very long time. Marie is an artist and makes the most gorgeous pillows and handbags. She understands a space in which we need to create and she enjoyed being in my creative space for a few hours.

Sometimes I wonder if Gidget weren’t a part of the package would Marie and I be friends. But really, I’m just kidding. I have no doubt we would be. Marie’s love of Gidget enhances and brings a beautiful depth to our relationship. Though you know, Marie never emails me, but only sends emails to Gidget. I guess you could say they are also pen pals and I do find it quite endearing.

Gidget is in our own, unique way a therapy dog of sorts for Marie – something I never saw coming, but welcome as part of a new experience for me. Together we are a trio of therapy for each other.

I am pretty sure it was the angels who brought Marie into my life most recently  just as another friendship moved in a new direction, which was a difficult time for me.

Gidget’s love for Marie, and Marie’s of Gidget, is a lovely reminder that though some friendships come and go, another will find you when the time is right.

This friendship aligned in the stars waited for just the right moment to swoop in and light up each of our lives in a divinely sparkling way.
