Come Home<br />

Just So.<br />

Elizabeth M. Jarrell<br />

Kensington, MD<br />

William has exceptional<br />

engineering skills.<br />

It may well be that he is<br />

proficient in plumbing<br />

as well.<br />

A<br />

lot of dogs are intimidated by big strangers with large<br />

tool boxes. Some bark incessantly. Others immediately<br />

run away to hide. Not William. Everyone is his longlost<br />

best buddy. He enthusiastically greets all guests,<br />

even the plumber, who is a very large, strong guy with a large tool<br />

box and mysterious boxes of plumbing equipment such as toilets.<br />

William especially likes to welcome guests carrying a toy in his<br />

mouth, often to share.<br />

The plumber’s latest visit was to solve the mystery of onequarter<br />

inch of water under my kitchen sink which turned out to<br />

be a failed disposal. Every time the plumber went out to his truck<br />

for another item and then walked back into the house, William<br />

acted like he had not seen him in ages. William is nothing if not<br />

a friendly sort of fellow. I’ve known my plumber for decades and<br />

he is an incredibly nice, gentle guy who loves dogs and is a crack<br />

plumber.<br />

Many dogs, if not already in hiding, run away when a plumber<br />

begins to produce odd-shaped instruments out of his tool box.<br />
