My Dog Lives Here
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.
