It's funny how the four legged family members in our life are more than just family pets. I know when my middle son is upset about something, the first thing he does is go straight to the dogs for their hugs and kisses and unconditional love. My youngest says the dogs are his best friends. He would spend all of his time talking to them and playing with them if he could.
And my husband is hysterical when it comes to our furry companions. As much as he complains about the state of our backyard because they dig and dig and chew and dig some more, he is so happy when he is greeted by our dogs each night as he arrives home. He'll spend five minutes giving and receiving love from them before he ever walks in the door to us.
And a dear friend said that our dogs have helped me find my 'heart place.' When you work full time at your own business, have children and a husband and schedules to juggle, practices, homework and work deadlines, there is very little time for yourself to just be. It's amazing how the dogs find your 'heart' place and remind you how to just 'be.' For me, nothing is more peaceful than the time each evening I spend with the dogs. After they've eaten and before the sun goes down, I spend time with them, just me and them, and we'll play fetch, I'll give them pets while they give me kisses, we'll dance (yes, my dogs love to dance!) and I'll sing crazy made up songs to them and we are content to just 'be.'
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
