WHY do we love dogs so much?
Who is this stinky one?
With the little black nose...
Stuffing itself into my face
To plant wet slurps that others think disgusting!
I give it this - I can tell it loves
STUPID in many ways
But so am I
And thus we have it in common
How did I come by you?
WHY do I need you so...
I cannot bear to be without you
NUISANCE that you at times are
But though you poop where I wish you had not
Drag home things that I wish you had not brought
Remind neighbors of what I wish they had forgot
Something about you is something I want
I can't imagine being away
Not to see your obnoxious tail sway
WAPPING off tables the thing there I'd laid
Thinking they'd be safe from you today.
You puzzle and frustate me in many ways
And I know you understand many things that I say
All you ever seem to want to do is play
Until I give up training you anyway
But there is a secret here and it's true
How I'd rather not be me but be you
It can't really happen I know
But in your tail wagging, there I go
Trust in a simple one, digging in the garden
All past transgressions recently forgotten
Until at night it is time to come home
Because of my PUPPY I am not alone

I can have the worst day ever. I get home at night and I hear the jingle of her collar tags. Thump of her tail on the floor. Always happy to see me.
There aint nothing better than the love of a dog!

Why? Becuase they love us. But, should you love a child more or less? Not that I would know, I can't love anything. But that is another story.

I love them cause they never much care about what we are doin', as long as we do it together. They also remind me of a little kid from a long time ago that's not a little kid anymore. It goes beyond the unquestioned loyalty they have. I don't remember who the writer was, but it was something like " I know of few men who will get to heaven, but I am quite certain of many dogs who will". Wish i had it right.
Great post, Greywolf.

Rufuss is still here, his Mom and Sister had to go because I could not afford to feed all of us (sounds terrible, I know).
I also couldn't let the siding on the back porch be chewed to pieces anymore by his sister, and can't deal with another litter of puppies.
I've sold some non-essentials, and should have given 2 of them up long ago. I knew also that I could not give all of them the attention they needed.
Rufie is special in ways you would have to see to understand. Poking his nose under the truck to lick me while I'm hassling with a true pain in the backside transmission is a part of that - he made me laugh!
I was greasy and didn't want to mess up his fur, but later on I noticed he had slept (or rolled) in a bunch of spilled oil...
So long as I can keep a shop - he's got a place in it!!!
Rufus is a low-buck Hotrodders dog. I used to call him ROB ROY, but it didn't quite fit. Fufie fits him to a "T"
Rufuss also did not have to be taught to 'Heel'. If I go walking around the developement at night, he rubs against my legs as we go walking together. No leash at all

Dogs. Great topic anyone can participate in without having to be an expert or risk getting flamed.
Shall we move this to the General Conversation forum so everyone can participate?
