My dog and I
live in this house. You are welcome to come and visit me anytime but we
have a few things that you must understand before you visit.
You must expect a few dog hairs to stick to your clothes. I vacuum and
clean every day but a Dog lives in this house too.
You may be licked and given a paw a few times but he does this because
he loves people and wants to say hello, so if you feel that you are too
good for his love then you are not welcome here because this is his home
too.
My dog is well mannered and very clean but if you are one of those
people who think all animals are dirty and smell then go away. You are
not the type of person that I care to associate with.
If you don't like the sound of barking, then my home is not going to be
a comfortable place for you to visit. My dog protects me by letting me
know I have a visitor. Whether it be a friend or uninvited stranger. If
you are a friend, my dog will consider you his friend too but if you are
an unwelcome guest, my dog will protect me with his life as I would his.
Do not expect me to lock my dog in another room during your visit. I
have trained my dog well so he will not do anything to you except maybe
want a pat on the head. I will not subject him to feel as if he is
being punished by locking him away for no reason. That would just be
cruel.
When you walk in my home, be careful not to trip on a squeaky toy or a
bone. These are my dog's little treasures and I will not take them away
from him just to show you that I keep a clean house. He knows where all
his toys are. They may not look like much to you, but to him, they are
worth more than gold.
You see, This is OUR home. We have been together since he was a small
pup scampering around the house, a tiny bit of a thing only a few weeks
old. I raised him into a well mannered, beautifully behaved dog. I am
proud of him.
I consider him
my personal gift from God. He has done nothing but give me his endless
love and devotion for many years. I love him dearly and want to make his
years happy ones. As happy as he makes mine. When you go home to your
family, he stays here with me. A fine and loving companion. He is MY
family and I wouldn't change that for the world. When times were hard,
we both went hungry. When it was cold and there was no heat, we both
kept each warm. When I was sick, he stayed right by my side as I did his
when he was not having a good day.
A better friend
I could not ask for. When no one else cared, my dog did. He has given me
nothing but pure joy and I love him endlessly.
So please understand that I am not being rude. I'm just looking out for
my best friend. |
