Happy Birthday Nelson! 18 July

I am a bit busy today, swimming, and staying cool in the Oregon sun, but I hear it can get quite a bit hotter in South Africa. I hope one day I can meet you , Nelson Mandela. I think you and I would be great friends. Dogs ... you know .. only see good in people. We believe, some day we dogs win  over people and other dogs. Nelson, -you did the same, and after many dog lives, much sacrifice, you almost miraculously..  helped transition South Africa... Trust is something we dogs know a lot about. And Nelson, you were able to provide that leadership to help build trust in humanity and forgiveness.   I think they still need a lot more Mandelas and Leonbergers. in the world.  I hear there is only one Leonberger family in Cape Town.   But maybe it's because we get confused with lions.

Happy Birthday Nelson.!  I do hope I can meet you some day, My ALR would also like to. When asked who she most admires in this world.. you are first, and then me. So... seems we have to meet! Licks.

I know you will always be there.
