My Best Friend
|
|
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 dogs 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.
