My Dog Lives In This House


My dog lives in this house. You are welcome to come and visit me anytime but
we have a few things that you must understand before you visit. You must
expect a few dog hairs to stick to your clothes. I vacuum and clean, but my
dog lives here too.

You may be leaned on and find him in your lap a few times but he does this
because he loves people and wants to say Hello. So if you feel that you are
too good for his love then you are not welcomed here because this is his
home too.

My dog is well mannered and very clean but if you are one of those people
who think all animals are dirty and smell, then go away. You are not the
type of person that I care to associate with. If you don't like the sound of
barking, then my home is not going to be a comfortable place for you to
visit.

Do not expect me to lock my dog in another room during your visit. I have
trained my dog well so he will not do anything to you except maybe want a
pat on the head. I will not subject him to feel as if he is being punished
by locking him away for no reason. That would be cruel. When you walk into
my home, be careful not trip on a stuffed toy or ball. These are my dogs
treasures and I will not take them away from him just to show you that I
keep a clean house. He knows where all his toys are. They may not look like
much to you, but to him, they are worth more than gold.

You see, this is OUR home. We have been together since he was a small puppy
scampering around the house. I raised him into a well mannered, beautifully
behaved dog.

I am proud of him. I consider him my personal gift from GOD. He has done
nothing but give me his endless love and devotion for many years. I love him
dearly and want to make his years happy ones. As happy as he made mine.

When I was sick, he stayed right by my side, as I did his when he is not
having a good day. A better friend I could not ask for.

When no one else cared, my dog did. He has given me nothing but pure joy and
I love him endlessly. So please understand that I am not being rude. I'm
just looking out for my best friend.
