I see the videos of the military men and women coming back home and their dogs going crazy in happiness and all I can think is “This is wonderful but I get almost the same response when I get home from the supermarket”.
Happy dogs are happy dogs and mine is as happy as it gets. Literally tries to claw through the door, jumping up and down whenever I get home (she’s part springer spainel :) )
Chinese saying:
Feed a dog for seven days and he remembers you for seven years.
Feed a cat for seven years and he remembers you for seven days.
She had been rejected by two previous would be adoptive owners. My daughters told my wife - you cannot take that dog- it's crazy. She did, of course. Yes, incredible how she barges right out to the front steps- we have to force our way in (laughs). Demands to be taken out to the park, keeps me in shape.
That’s because dogs have a profound sense of greeting. My neighbors little dog loves me so. “You better run girl” is my customary greeting. Dad’s little dog used to get so choked up when I came by to a point she couldn’t swallow. He used to say your brothers here Katie. Greet your dogs people, it is so emotional for them, much more so than our own greetings.
when I get real depressed there are two types of video’s I like to view on the internet.
1. video’s of dogs seeing there owner after a deployment or when they come home after basic TRAINING.
2 daddy’s seeing there young children after a deployment.
both bring tears to my eyes the happy ones.
I don’t have a wife or children I think of my two dogs as my kids.
my dogs are the best medicine for me
