The best part about owning a dog is the way …
- he will come over to see me, for no reason, just to let me know I'm important to him,
- he is always ready to lick the jelly off my nose,
- he looks into my eyes and finds contentment in simply being near me,
- he will run all over the yard, fetch a soggy tennis ball and bring it back to me as if to say "look mom, it's all I have, but it's yours",
- he wakes me up in the morning by pushing his cold wet nose in my ear and snuffling loudly,
- he shreds toilet paper all over the house, because it's fun even though he knows he shouldn't,
- he is sure he can catch the ducks in the lake,
- he comes over to me when he is sad,
- he wedges himself near me when I am sad and pushes all others away, to console me with his love,
- he pounces on crickets in the backyard,
- he looks perplexed when they escape,
- he terrified of the evil pink hula hoop,
- he doesn't mind how much of that horrid perfume I'm wearing just because it was a gift from my relative who's visiting,
- he doesn't care about bad hair day or overdue bills,
- he loves me, even when I am impatient with him and have no time this morning for a game of tug-a-war,
- his coat feels like liquid silk under my fingers,
- he finds wisdom beyond words "The Best Part".
