My dog is my constant companion, my immediate family are my part time companions. We adopted our dog when she was young and my daughters were younger. Both daughters and my wife promised to help take care of her. I promised to train and help in her upkeep. After a seemingly prolonged period of time we picked her up. Being responsible adopters we had her spayed and built a fence around our back yard. She came home to a happy family and a home especially prepare for her.
After two weeks my oldest daughter was no longer interested in picking up her mess in the back yard. My youngest daughter kept trying to get the puppy to love her. My wife miracuously forgot that she insisted on and promised to help with the upkeep and training of the puppy. I however, had to keep up with my end of the deal. I trained her, fed her, and cleaned up after her. She turned out to be the best dog we have ever had.
The dog is well behaved and socially at ease. She is always there for you when you need her. She is loving and caring. She has even become my youngests best friend and walking companion. She takes the dog for a walk and all the neighborhood kids accompany her. She lays around the house with me during the day and gives me hugs. My oldest lovesw to spoil her when she is home from college and my wife loves the attention she gets from her when whe comes home from a trying day.
My thought is this. A happy pet will make for a happy home. Although she is not perfect (but then again who is) she is ours and makes us all happy.
