what does owning a dog mean

[lenny]

Having a dog in your life changes the way you live, here are a few that have changed in ours, The greeting you get when you come home, never fails to amaze even if we have only been out a short while. The fact we really dont need an alarm clock as we are told now when its time to get up, when its time to go for a walk when its time to eat and when its time for bed.Things do not need to come in pairs, (ie socks and slippers) that owning a dyson is a godsend, as dogs will give you the coats off thier backs,( several times over.) they teach you that food should be kept in the fridge, and not left on the side. they make sure you get good use out of all your clothes, summer ,winter or waterproof. They take you back to your childhood days, by visiting , parks, woods and the seaside. and playing and running just as you once did.They make you smile everday you have them, when you are sad they are sad, when you are happy they are happy.They keep you fit and active, and not just a couch potato. They hold a special place in your heart, and break it only once.

Nothing can replace the love you receive from a dog like when Holly nuzzles up to me when I am taking her a walk as if to say "Thanks Mum". I love going long walks with her as it keeps me fit and she loves it too!! She wakes me up in the morning and makes you go out even when you feel like snuggling up next to the fire when its cold. You meet such lovely, like minded people on walks and this definately lifts your spirits up.

Well life with out one would feel empty, they fill you home with love and hairs They certainly do keep you on our toes, its like having children all over again infact they are our children When your feeling down they raise your spirits, alway having that sixth sense to know what your thinking or feeling.
