Squeeky wheels get the grease

My Family

I have 5 dogs from age 7 to 15 years old.  And in the past 15 years I have come to realize one thing, dogs love you unconditionally.  They never complain or nag, unless you count barking at the door to go out or sitting at your side "crying" for a bite of what ever you are eating.  They always meet you at the door wagging their tails and full of joy because you are home.  If your sad they are right by your side giving you their shoulders to cry on, or just something warm to hug.  If you're sick they lay next to you to keep you warm and to guard over you and protect you while you are asleep.
    They can be a bother at times, especially a puppy who likes to chew.  But just think slippers are cheaper to replace then repainting walls because your toddler wrote on them with crayons or ink or even worse magic markers. If they do a boo boo on the floor it's a lot easier to clean up then a bag of flour or a glass of sticky juice that some little "darling dropped.
    They can bring your slippers when your feet are cold and keep them even warmer by sleeping on them. All they ever ask is to be fed, let out to potty and a loving pet once in a while.  So if you ever feel lonely or frightened, go to your nearest animal shelter and take home someone who is feeling just as lonely and frightened as you are.  Believe you won't regret it.
