A Little Prayer

Today was another day of dog duty.  This dog has not been a fan of mine and so going over isn't exactly the most exciting thing.  I don't feel like taking the risk.  Today I was determined to go in and get the job done.  I also decided that a little prayer for help would be appropriate.  I offered that little prayer that Sonny would be calm and that I would be able to get everything done.  I dropped the boys off at school and walked over.  I called out to Sonny and said I'm coming back.  Sonny had a completely different demeanor.  She was excited to see me.  Jumped up a few times and was very friendly.  It was a completely different dog.  The hair on her back was not standing straight up.  She was not barking angrily or trying to attack me through the fence.  I got her fed and put fresh water in her bowls.  I got the chickens fed and I adjusted the cats feeder.  All the while Sonny was an angel of a dog.  It was a great visit.  I was very happy about it and was quite grateful for a big answer to a little prayer.
