The Dog Wisdom of the “Way of the Nick”
I recently came across this wonderful poem a Dad wrote about his son’s dog. It was written by Gord Young of Gord’s Gold.
I’m sure Nick lives a very full and happy life, filled with affection and plenty of bully sticks.
What can we learn from the way of the Nick?
A Nick does not pass judgement.
A true Nick forgives, even one who has lopped off his ear.
(Oops. my son accidently nicked his ear while trimming)
Nick is tolerant of others even though they would attack him for no reason.
(the cat)
Nick protects with his life those that he loves most.
Nick barks at raccoons but intends them no harm.
(Last night)
A true follower of the “way of the Nick” does not hold on to prejudices
nor hold grudges and forgives past indiscretions.
Nick is surely what we must strive to be.
