I HAD FORGOTTEN

I picked up this sweet honey of a dog recently from a friend who could no longer keep her, and let me tell you something, I love this dog beyond belief. I hadn't had a dog in so long I had forgotten just how much love an animal could bring into a family and how much you could care about and love a such a jerky little thing. She's sleeping next to me on the couch as I write this and the peaceful feeling is wonderful. My wife was watching me cuddling and playing with the dog the other day and said," I think you love that dog more than you love us." And my reply was, "It's a lot easier to love a dog than it is to love a wife and kids." One is work, and discipline and constant headaches, compromising, coddling, exhorting, cheering on and correcting, and the other just wants to take a shit on the lawn. I love this dog, but don't get me wrong, it's a dog. If times got tough and the winter snows blew 20 feet high for a month, I'd cook and feed this dog to my family faster than she licks her own dog vaj after a big squirt. Like I've always said, Dogs rule cats drool.Woof, fuck you.
