The Tracker
I needed my dog's guardian angel to help.
Shepherds and Collies are both known for their tracking and searching skills.
My shepherd/collie mix, Lacy, was an expert. Nothing makes a dog happier than being given a job to do. All I had to say was, “Lacy, please find Daddy’s lost wallet,” and she’d be off. Sniffing under tables, chairs and beds. Pawing at the couch cushions to let me know she found my misplaced wallet.
Sometimes I suspected Lacy had a guardian angel that helped her find lost things. When Lacy died, I was on my own.
Recently, I lost the keys to my new car. Maybe Lacy’s guardian angel will help me, I thought.
I imagined Lacy up in heaven, running around and sniffing, while her angel did the same in the house.
But who was I kidding? Did I expect those keys to come walking up to me on their own? I plopped down in my easy chair and felt a lump of metal by my side. There they were: the car keys.
Since then, every time I misplace something—from my TV clicker to a favorite book—I give Lacy and her guardian angel a job to do. Together they make quite a team.
