*And a little poem I wrote for my best friend in this world.*

When there is nobody there to love me, there's you.

When there is nobody there to hold me, there's you.

When there is nobody to see me as beautiful, there's you.

When there is nobody to be there to comfort me when I cry, there's you.

When there is nobody to make me smile, there's you.

When nobody seems to care, there's you.

When nobody is there to keep me company, there's you.

When there is nobody who wants to be around me when I'm mad or cranky, there's you.

When nobody will listen to me speak, there's you.

When I feel I will never be good enough for anyone, there's you.

When my life seems pointless and I feel hopeless, there's you.

There's you, giving all that you can and asking nothing in return.

There's you with a tiny body, but carry the biggest heart.

There's you who will always see me as everything wonderful in life.

There's you for whom I will always be more than enough.

There's you, who will never judge me or the things I say and do.

There's you who will never hold anything against me.

There's you: My friend, my companion, my listener and love.

There's you, my dog.

My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am. ~Author Unknown (one of my favorites )



and this one you posted..

"We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare, And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made."
M. Facklam

and this one

" He is your friend, your partner,
your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader. He will
be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat
of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of
such devotion."

Unknown
