Today I'd like to express my gratitude to the pets I've had. They have all been dogs. I love dogs for all of the reasons you hear so often about.
- They are faithful.
- They are always happy to see you when you come home.
- They love to be loved.
- They are good emotional barometers.
- I love the way the wag their tails.
- I love the way they hold their mouths open and their tongue hangs out when the pant. To me, this is their way of smiling.
- Dog's like to press their bodies against you sometimes to either seek attention or just to acknowledge you.
- Our current dog sleeps with us and on occasion she'll sleep right against me, seeking either the warmth of my body or the physical contact.
- I like the way that dogs will make eye contact with you.
- It is cute the way that dogs smell you to check you out.
