Why I Love My Dogs

I love my dogs because they give me so much without asking for anything in return.  I love my dogs because they keep me warm when it's cold.  I love my dogs because when I don't feel well they keep me company and give me comfort.  I love my dogs because when I'm feeling sad they put a smile on my face just by being themselves.  I love my dogs because they love our family and our friends unconditionally (except Aik who always acted strangely with Kim, but he's at the Rainbow Bridge now and I know he's playing tag with Kim's dogs who are there and I know they are telling him how wonderful she is!)  I love my dogs because they don't have to do horrible things to others to elevate themselves.  I love my dogs because they find great joy in a stick.  I love my dogs because certain words make them want to do backflips every single time they are said ("breakfast," "dinner," "let's go to bed," "walk?" "let's play," "treat," "let's go to school" -- and probably a few others!).  I love my dogs because they do what I ask them to do, when I ask them to do it, and they hardly ever argue with me.  I love my dogs because they know the "sweet spot" of sunshine on a sunny, but cold day.  I love my dogs because they love learning.  I love my dogs because they are wise beyond words.  I love my dogs because they have found me, they lift me up, they love me, and they do it all unconditionally.
