Sometimes I just need to talk things over with someone who will listen and not try to give me advice. It’s usually my dog.
Sometimes I am so upset about a situation that bad words come out of my mouth instead of just thinking them. My dog listens and doesn’t judge me, especially if I give him a treat afterwards.
If I am watching a sports event and get a little too rowdy, I quickly apologize and explain that I wasn’t upset with him. He understands and calmly goes back to sleep against my body.
I don’t have to explain to my dog why I am wearing the same outfit three days in a row. He is still proud to take a walk with me.
A friend told me that, although they don’t like to play favorites, my dog is one of the special ones. I was just telling him the same thing this morning.
My dog and I are both nervous during a bad storm. When we cuddle together, we are both calmer. My dog is a good cuddler.
My dog’s silly antics make me laugh harder than most humans can. He seems to understand and will continue his craziness until we are both out of breath.
I sometimes ask my dog for advice and his look tells me that I already know the answer. And he is usually right.
My dog has seen me at my worst yet still comes to me with tail wagging and no side eye look at my mismatched clothes, hair in disarray or spotty shirt.
I believe that my dogs instinctively knows good people from not so good people, even if they are on TV. I support his judgment. I think that, at times, his gut works better than mine.
No one knows me as well as my dog.
