Good Boy, On A Bad Day.

It’s been said dogs can have the mentality of up to a three-year-old child, and I believe it. They sense when you’re down, or sick, and instantly go into comfort mode. Yesterday Ricky was there for my friend Mark, as I helped him move into a new home with his girlfriend Toni.

It was one of the saddest days in Los Angeles. Kobe Bryant dying really rocked Mark because Mark’s best friend is Lakers’ trainer Gunnar Peterson. Gunnar texted Mark from the team plane as they flew back from Philadelphia, right after Kobe had died, and said the team was inconsolable.

Mark and Toni want to adopt an older Pit Bull soon, and loved having Ricky there as a surrogate. I’m glad he could give them a little lift. Toni rewarded Ricky with a home-cooked meal of salmon and rice. He earned it.
