MY DOG LIVES IN THIS HOUSE

[MeSheLL]

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 her in your lap a few times but she does this because she loves people and wants to say Hello. So if you feel that you are too good for her love then you are not welcomed here because this is her 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 assoiciate with. If you dont 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 she will not do anything to you except maybe want a pat on the head. I will not subject her to feel as if she is being punished by locking her 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 her just to show you that I keep a clean house. She knows where all her toys are. They may not look like much to you, but to her, they are worth more than gold.

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

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

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

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