After reading that recent post by Aguu (entitled 'How Could You'), it really made me think about just how much I really love my boys. After tonight, I couldn't be more convinced.
My boyfriend and I got in a fight earlier this afternoon...causing me to come home in tears and basically lock myself in my room for the remainder of the evening (I hate how boys can do that :rolleyes:). Anyway, after ten minutes or so, I heard one of the dogs scratch on my door. Surprise, surprise...it was Scout, my sensitive buddy that is always there to comfort me. :)
He came right in, plopped down on my bed, gave me some little doggy-kisses, and put his head right in my lap. He laid with me for a couple of hours, while I rubbed his head and swore off boys for the rest of my life (lol...right ;)). I have no idea how, but Scout somehow helped me gather up whatever courage I had and call my boyfriend. Thanks to Scout and his loyalty, compassion, and constant companionship, I was able to patch things up with Joel (my boyfriend).
I know this may not sound like a lot (and maybe it doesn't make any sense to a single person that reads this), but it's just all the little things that Scout does that really makes me appreciate each day I have him. As much as I hate to pick favorites and actually name them, I can honestly say that Scout is my angel. Don't get me wrong, I love Tucker and Kodak...but there's just something about Scout that makes me smile.
I just want everyone to understand how special their four-legged (or two-legged, for that matter) friend really is. Please, don't take them for granted. One day, they will be gone...and please don't wait until that mournful day to let your loyal friend know how much you care. :)
This fit all too well, and I can't help but share it with you. :)

"What would I do without you,
My precious, furry friend?...
Part mischief, but all blessing,
And faithful to the end!
"You look at me with eyes of love,
You never hold a grudge...
You think I'm far too wonderful
To criticize or judge.
"It seems your greatest joy in life
Is being close to me...
I think God knew how comforting
Your warm, soft fur would be.
"I know you think you're human,
But I'm glad it isn't true...
The world would be a nicer place
If folks were more like you!
"A few short years is all we have;
One day we'll have to part...
But you, my pet, will always have
a place within my heart."
