If you read yesterday’s comments you heard of a dog named Otis.
Otis was a pug who epitomized man’s (and woman’s) best friend.
Otis hated to see people leave the house.
He wanted you to stay just a little bit more and feel at home.
With minimal urging you could get Otis to bark a certain way that sounded exactly like "I love you".
Pictures came and went across our refrigerator but his picture remained.
People often bring out the worst in dogs.
Otis would bring out the best in you.
He wasn’t our dog, it wasn’t our house but whenever you were in that home you thought you were part of the family.

I remember one time during Life Group when Otis started snoring…LOUDLY. I beleive Josh was teaching that time….
That old Pug…when he took his last breath he stretched out his neck, put his head in the palm of my hand, sighed and closed his eyes.
The last thing I said to Otis was, “Thanks for making me laugh every day.”
He was a great dog. If Mocha turns out half as good, she will be spectacular.

Good story. Good comment, Peggy.
I can bark “I love you” and really mean it, but I’m often ready for company to leave… Got to work on that one.
