It’s been said that the dog is man’s best friend, well I say it’s more special than that. If you were to open my wallet you would see a photo of my dog.(sorry kids) staring back at you. I LOVE my eleven year old chihuahua. Sure she is now mostly gray and is going blind but she is my baby. She comforts me when I am down, makes me laugh with her “puppy dog” antics and is always waiting for me when I step through the front door. In her eyes I will never be worthless, rejected, unappreciated, not good enough or any other negative emotions us humans are so good at causing others. She offers love and I’m happy to give love in return, as well as her arthritis medication. My dog gives me endless joy and I can only hope you have a special relationship with yours as well.
