His name is Shadow, and when I grow up I want to be just like him.
My prayer is that one day I will be as faithful to my Lord as this little dog is to me. He literally lives up to his name; following me every step I take. He watches me, anticipating my next step. Today, I told him that I was going to take him and Bo, our Golden retriever, for a ride in the car. Bo-bear, as we affectionately call him, was doing his "tippy-toe" dance that he does when he gets excited. Meanwhile Shadow quietly stood watching me. I told each of them to sit and in an instant Shadow's backside dropped, his eyes still focused on his master. Poor Bo-bear, however, had a hard time taking orders and continued to dance, jump and whine. Yet, there sat Shadow looking me straight in the eye, head up, waiting for me to give the command. His desire has always been to please me. As I stood there watching his reaction, he too watched me with great anticipation and adoration in his eyes. He is secure in the love I have for him. His love and loyalty make my heart melt. I just adore my little pup. Yes, when I grow up, I want to be just like Shadow, whose eyes are always on his master and whose heart he longs to please.
