Well I use to be one of those people too, who got annoyed by people who dressed up their dogs, who treat them like their children, who seem to loose total perspective on the role and function of dogs in our lives. However, this will come as no surprise to those who know me but I myself am a crazy dog lover now. This transformation began about two years ago when I became the caregiver for an adopted puppy who has become part of our family. I am currently reading 'Marley and Me', this is a great story about this process that makes me smile to think about my own experience in loving my dog and having hard time remembering what life was like before we had her. I do think dogs are one of those great little gifts God gave us that enriches our lives in small but meaningful ways. A 7 year old said it best, "You just feel better after you pet a dog". So I am coming out of the closet on this one, I am a crazy dog lover!
So here's a top ten of what I love about life with my pup!
10) Puppy days
9) watching her swim
8) Snuggly naps on the couch
7) Fun games we play
6) unconditional acceptance and love for her mom and dad
5) The sweet way she waits up for Ryan at night
4) Boundless excitement to see us
3) Lazer running
2) Getting to see a parental preview of my husband and myself
1) Never having to feel alone
