What my dog has said recently;
“I know I look like I am perfectly content, but I must get up and walk in circles, urgently looking for something more comfortable. Ah, this looks just right. Yes, I am aware, I am in the same spot.”
“Look deep into my eyes. You are beautiful. You saved me. You smell so good. I will now gently nibble your nose. Everything about you is perfect. “
“Step away from the computer and come rub my back and tell me I am such a very, very, very good girl.”
“Is that lip moisturizer you are applying? May I eat it when you are done?”
“You are beautiful, you are brilliant, you are magical. You can make anything happen. Get me a treat.”
“Why are you looking at that computer screen with your back to me? I will sit here and wait. Then I will bark. Once.”
“I know you are just taking a bath, but I must leave my warm bed and find you and watch you. But from a distance, since you know that I don’t like water.”
“Are you certain that’s the absolute best meal you could possibly come up with for me?”
“Come away from the T.V. and lie here by this window with me. I do not have as many years here as you have. I will bark to summon you now. Once. Let’s look at the big moon and how the ground is all lit up. Can you smell the fox? I do. Let me out. Now. I will bark. Many times.”
“I love manure even more when it freezes.”
“I am running after a fox. I almost have it. I am running fast. My feet and toenails are digging into … your belly. Oops, sorry, I was dreaming.”
“It doesn’t matter if you hide your snacking in the other room. I can tell. Please share.”
“Did I tell you yet how beautiful you are? You smell so good. I can smell you when you drive up the driveway and it makes me delirious with joy.”
“If you tell me where you are going, I will track you the way that dogs do, and I will wait for you. Think of me when you are not here. Send me love and I will feel it, just as I always will when I am gone. Just like you feel the black dog before me. She helped me find my way to you.”
“Back away from the computer and love me.”
