Man’s best friend. They are always there for us. They want to play, have attention, regardless of how their day has been. Tail always wagging, ready to get going on the new adventure, or just glad to see you. I have had a dog now for over 25 years. It is so incredibly hard when we have to say goodbye to one of them, but all of the times we have had with them more than makes up for the sadness of saying goodbye.
Here is our daughter Megan playing with her dog , Dobby, a lab/pointer mix, 3 years old, and Dakota, our Golden Retriever puppy, now 5 months old. They keep each other company during the day, and then want all of our attention at night. They get along well with each other, and I think they both would feel lost if they did not have the other one around during the day either.
This is a good summary of just what we can, and have learned, from having a dog. Appreciate them. They make great training partners, friends, and family members…They can feel the love that comes from this family as well. And, they know they are a part of this family!
The loyalty they show, and unending love is something you would not understand unless you have, or have had, a dog. They are always ready to go for a walk, or a run. Something to get moving. They are great for helping to get you moving yourself, and to do some exercise. They do not care what the weather is outside. They just want to go! With all of the kids at least grown up and out of the house, it is like taking care of another child. They at least don’t talk back all of the time!
They want your attention, and will be very loyal to you. Take advantage of their unending love!
This one has definitely taken our hearts. She is already a very special dog. I only see this getting even better as she gets bigger. Many adventures, walks, and runs to look forward too!
Here is to you Dakota! She helps keep us moving, and enjoying life. If you have a dog, you know what I mean. If you don’t have a dog, what are you waiting for? Keep moving everybody!
