I grew up with dogs and have a dog of my own. We cuddle, play, walk and have fun every day. I love having a dog in the house, as he brightens my day and he is my security blanket when my husband is not here. I love to have him sleeping next to me, even if I have to bargain with my daughter (when she is home from college) to have him in the bedroom with me. Even though he may not like getting baths and haircuts, I like to keep him groomed and enjoy his playfulness when we are done. He loves his treats and I love how he lets me know when he feels he deserves a treat - It is so much fun to watch him twirl around and do circles, sit and even go to the refrigerator. He is such a good boy.
