Funny how you love those old dogs even when they have health issues. With a puppy a person might ponder rehoming it if they couldn't get it housebroken. With an old dog, whom you've loved forever, you just clean up after him and go on with your day. Granted, I will be putting a bell on my old boy's collar today. That should help me help him get to the door fast enough. He's waits until the last minute to decide he has to go, and has no back up ability to hold it. Don't you hate when that happens. Poor dude.
Funny how you love those puppies even when they are driving you crazy. A couple of our group are fostering multiple puppies. Isn't insanity entertaining??? Isn't drinking tempting?? Aren't they absolutely adorable when........they are sleeping?
Funny how you love the greeting they give you when you get home. Even if it includes a mad dash to the yard, followed by frantic paws insisting they really, truly, haven't eaten in days.
Funny how they know our routine, and how we know theirs. How they become like children to us, and yet we get to crate them and leash them. Something we all wish we could do with our teenagers.
Funny how I love Sidney's exuberance. His complete grasp of all things dufus. A friend once share about her Labradors going "bowling for nuns" during their walk by a convent one day. Sidney goes bowling for me.....but really, if he comes when I call, can I complain that he comes at 90 mph??
Funny how I love Mickey during our pet therapy visits. Here is a boy who has a Masters degree in being a goof ball, a dufus boy. Get him in the hospital and he becomes a visiting dignitary. All stoic and well mannered, a proper English gentleman.
Isn't it funny how you/we love the dogs? And aren't we completely lucky/blessed/encouraged to do so?
Life with dogs. A little humor, a dash of play, a seed of faith, and of course, some dog fur.
