Here is one that most of my family and friends can to relate to just by knowing me. You all know of my dog, Gunny. He's a true mut. Part pit, part lab and all spoiled. Just the way I want him to be. If you've never seen him, think of the movie "Marley and Me". He's that color.
Let me give you a brief story about him to me. First off, he's turning nine this year so he has definitely slowed down some. But I got him when he was just over four months old...a true puppy. I've never had a dog by myself so boy was I in for a wake up call. He drank so much water that first day and I was amazed at how he could...then I learned, he had to pee all the time and everywhere!
He saved my life. I was low in my life and was drinking too much...to say the least. By having him in my life, it changed me and made me and continues to make me happy each day I see him. He has taught me something that I needed. Unconditional love. No matter what kind of mood I'm in, no matter the time of day, no matter even if I get upset at him, he is always waggling his tail (and yes, waggling is a word, here anyway).
As I write this, he is laying on the floor sleeping, he's great at taking naps! The reason for this, is to ask you a question. What does your pet mean to you? Almost for nine years, Gunny has been apart of my life. I would love to hear stories from you. If you don't feel like commenting, you can email them to me at msmartin7139@hotmail.com I would love to hear stories of what your pet means to you. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for sharing.
Sadly not as much as yours does. Jazz was our first child but I have to say they really loose that spot in your heart when you have kids. She is the sweetest dog and nothing but good to Avery and Connelly but she does not get near the attention she deserves. But I totally agree I can yell at her and swat her for doing something dumb and she will come right up and lay her head on my leg and waggle her tale at me a minute later.
