\"puppy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You know about our trip to Germany and The Netherlands.<\/p>\n

You also know about our return home aboard a packed Boeing 777 which included a\u00a0toddler who wouldn’t stop screaming his lungs out for the entire 10-hour flight\u00a0from Frankfurt, Germany to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.<\/p>\n

Also, you know about some of the sights, smells and sounds we experienced in Europe.<\/p>\n

Now for the best part: We picked up Toby the Puppy from the puppy\/kitty spa where we boarded him while we were away.<\/p>\n

I’d give anything to re-create the moment he recognized us when the young woman brought him out from\u00a0the kennel area where he had been staying.<\/p>\n

The joy was obvious in an almost human-like way when he jumped out of her arms and began showering us with kisses.<\/p>\n

I actually had wondered: Would he be mad at us for leaving him for two weeks?<\/p>\n

We got our answer the instant he laid eyes on us.<\/p>\n

No. Not at all.<\/p>\n

He is glad to be home.<\/p>\n

I was reminded of a\u00a0favorite comedian\/singer of ours, Mark Lowry, who jokes often during his stand-up about dogs’ unmatched loyalty.<\/p>\n

“Try locking your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car,” Lowry says. “Leave them in there for an hour — and then see which of them is glad to see you when you open the door.”<\/p>\n\n
