They accept me unflinchingly...do not care if I am dressed or if I am wearing spotted sox with a shirt that does not match, or if my hair is "blue merle" instead of bottle blonde, or if that last tiramisu I ate is now residing firmly on my hips...they never correct me...never chastise me..never tell me to "get a job ya bum!"....or ask me why the vacuum cleaner is permanently residing in the middle of my kitchen floor. Walking with them is a joy...I get a chance to talk on the cell with an occasional "good dog" thrown their way, and they are happy with it. A ball is a miracle to them; they do not ask for my credit card, my car keys, or Christmas gifts. They are happy with the menu each day, whatever it is and do not complain that I am "picking up a chicken" instead of slaving over a hot stove on a summer night. They think ...no, they KNOW...that my world revolves solely for them and ask "arent I just the cutest thing?" as they engineer a new trench through the backyard, causing half the dogloo to sink into a waiting pool of sand.<br />We wipe their feet, brush their luxurious coats, choose their toys and cookies with an eye toward mental stimulation and physical health. I keep their health records in neat tidy folders with their pictures on top...damned if I could find the kids vaccination records; they are somewhere in this house...I just know it.LaxfieldGSDshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09512172125650194485noreply@blogger.com
