Because as her owner, she looks exactly like you (whether you like it or not).
Because she has been around longer than most of your ex-boyfriends.
Because she knows your moods better than most (and always does the most cosmically perfect thing when you need it most).
Because she’s funny – whether she’s barking at another dog on the TV. chasing your feet, trying to attack your hand that’s underneath a blanket pretending to be a living thing or chasing her tail, she makes you laugh.
Because she always greets you at the door with a smile on her face. Not sure anyone will ever be as excited as your dog is EVERYDAY when you come home.
Because when she walks, she saunters like she rules the world, and in her mind, she does rule the world.
Because she corrals the whole family when on walks and gets really stressed out when you’re not all together.
Because she perfectly cleans your floor when you spill
Because she attacks flying snowballs and is then perplexed when she can’t find where the “ball” went after it was thrown.
Because as the woman in charge of the house she always welcomes the people you want to come over and scares away the ones you don’t ie: the “stop by” neighbor, solicitors, an ex.
Because as angry as you might be when your in your black blazer, her incessant shedding will make you smile one day.
Because she’s the most consistently kind friend you’ll ever have.
