    Thank you so much for sharing this... l even read it to them they are all on the bed with me while l am on the computer

    I like the way you think, girlfriend! I'd have done the same thing! In fact, when I was in HS, my BFF & I had a "rule" that we only dated guys that our dogs approved of... for real! We figured (correctly) that they had better people/boy sense than we did!

In fact she's in her little bed right now here in the computer room at my feet. (yes, computer ROOM. My SIL is a computer wizard and works in security for the University Hospital, and we have 7 computers in this one room...LOL) There is no more loving or loyal companion that our little 4 legged fur babies.
    She's the opposite of my 55-pound Leo who is SURE he's really a teeny, tiny puppy & wants to sit on your lap all the time. What I always say to people is that Leo doesn't want to be with you. He doesn't want to be by you. He wants to be ON you... LOL!

    Challenging for sure! I just think animals have better "radar" than we do!

    I hear you. I'm an only child & my dog was like my brother back in the day. They just NEVER let you down, never.

    I love both these quotes, got quite a laugh. Heard this when my kids were growing up, along with "you love the dogs more", because I would always put the dog food at the top of the grocery list. LOL

    This makes me feel so good. I love my dogs to death. They are the best therapy after a streeful day at work or after any stressful moment. They truly make life more interesting. Cats do too.

    I agree with you.I have four dogs.....Their love is so unconditional. The looks they give at times will melt your heart...
    I have had many laughs from them.......Each one has a different personality and therefore when they are all together there is never a dull moment......I have lived alone for many years and these guys are my best friends....The house is never empty.....They are always happy to see me, if I am gone 5 minutes or 5 hours.......I wouldn't take a million for any of them......

    Our pets love us unconditionally. I love my little dog. He is my truest friend.
