I am Venga!

I can't believe it! My humans say that tomorrow makes 6 months that we've been living here in Costa Rica! That's a whole half a year!! I really miss all my human family and friends back in the States, but I have had fun making lots of new human friends here in Costa Rica!
Just a little doggie thought for the day:
When we first moved here I noticed something very strange. I already told you how there are dogs everywhere down here! (some have humans and some don't.....pobrecitos) But I discovered that every dog here has the same name! How strange is that?! Every time a human would call their dog, they said "Venga!" and the dog would come. It didn't matter if it was a boy dog or a girl dog. Now where I'm from in Tennessee, every dog has their own name, and boy dogs and girls dogs have very different names. So I found this very curious. Then one day while we were at a park, I realized that even some of the human niños answered to "Venga" too! I was so very confused!
But my humans (they are so very smart), they taught me that "venga" means "come" in Spanish! I was so relieved! This means those dogs and human niños each have their own special name. Whew!
But then I started to think about it, and I want to be known as the dog that comes when my humans call my name. I love my humans so much, they give me everything I need and more, and I want to do whatever they ask. When they call my name, when they say "Lucy come!" I come running!
I also love walking with my humans, right next to them, there is no safer place! 
Wherever my humans go, I go too.....(except school of course, that's my siesta time!). 
It's the same with God, I know He gives us everything we need and more. And by His side is the safest place in the whole world! He called my humans and said "venga". He told them to go to Honduras to rescue human niños and teach them about Him. So my humans came running to Him, because they love Him and He loves us, and said yes to His call.
Where He tells us to go and what He tells us to do, we do. Because when He calls, we come. All because of love. I want to be known as the little dog that comes to her humans because they love me and I love them. I want to be known as "Venga".
What about you?
