(If any of Ray's fans would like to post their own list of why they love their dogs, the comments section awaits!)
Why I love Zoe: -she is my dog. -she tolerates the cats and tortoise. -she shares the bed pillows (sometimes). -she barks from the back of the sofa to alert us to ANY moving thing out the window. -she is Zoe, the wonderdog. -I love her. -she loves me. -she has a cute little sideways lope (had one femeral head taken out). -she is friendly with everyone, unless it is another dog trying to sniff her butt, then she gives a little snarl!. -she was 20 min away from euthanasia 14 years ago because her legs were broken, I took her anyway (best decision I've made in less than 1 nanosecond ever). She is the cutest funny little dog ever. She loves me and my daughter as much as we love her.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I was thinking today that the best decision I've ever made (besides marrying my lovely husband) was adopting a blind dog on a whim.
DeleteThanks for the post!

I love my dogs because they are my family. I can't have children and they've filled that void for us. They never get in trouble at school and wouldn't dream of asking to borrow the car - who could ask for more?
ReplyDeleteI love Molly (the Grand Dame) because she is sweet and kind to everyone she meets.
I love Savannah (my foster failure) because she is very affectionate...often annoyingly so.
I love Daisy (the Coonhound) because she's a snuggler, much like Ray, but only in the winter. In the summer she's a hole-digging, shadow-chasing barking machine who has no time for Mom.
I love Annie (our 10th anniversary beagle) for her bright spirit and unbridled enthusiasm for all things edible.
I love Liam (our blind boy) for his big heart and his affection....and for teaching me patience.
I love Elvis (the beagle baby) for his joie de vivre and his sense of humor. He's so silly I can't help but laugh at his antics...even as I try to divert him from his mission to destroy my house.
This was fun! Thanks for asking us to share, Jean :)
