MY DOG
"He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds.
He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being;
by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when
I leave without taking him. When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When
I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another
man. With him, I am all‑powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a
secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal
my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait
for me... whenever... wherever ‑ in case I need him. And I expect I will ‑ as I always have. He is just my dog."

Here's a notice you can post at your front door so visitors
know their place:
NOTICE
TO PEOPLE VISITING MY HOME:
The dog lives here...YOU
DON’T!
If you don't want
dog hair on your clothes,
stay off the furniture.
Yes, he has some disgusting habits. So
do I, and so do you! What's your point?
OF COURSE he smells like a dog.
I like him a lot better than I like most
people.
To you, he’s just a dog. To me, he is
an
adopted child who is short, hairy, walks
on all fours, doesn’t speak clearly,
and tolerates eating on the floor.
And by the way…Its his nature to sniff
your crotch. Please feel free to sniff his!
