"Happiness = a dog laying on you, licking you, walking with you. The best beings in my life have been dogs and horses." Dear Doggies: I promise to be a loving friend and companion to you, through best of times and worst of times. I love playing outside, till we both tire out, and taking long energizing walks. We can cuddle on the couch, or if you prefer just being in each other's presence- we can just sit on the couch and stare at each other. We can play with your favorite toys, I can give you a brush down, and we can find squirrels and birds to hold our attention. I promise to show you love and respect first, and I know you will return it 100-fold.
