What I Learned From the Dog

I think every married couple should have a dog.  Most people think that its great for teaching you to be a parent.  You know... the first step or trial run. 

Not me.  I think you should have a dog to teach you how to love each other. Unconditionally.  Without hesitation.  My pup is a constant reminder of how I should treat my spouse.  I watch her run to the door to greet him when he comes home from work. Oh how she has MISSED him! Wanting nothing more then to crawl in his lap and give him kisses.  She seems to say "You're home! I've missed you!  I'll kiss away anything bad that happened today and make you forget it all!"  No matter how tired or grumpy you are, even if you've scolded her, she keeps coming back to love you.  She doesn't take bad days personally.  Her love is the same; consistant, forgiving, forever.
