A dog lives here

This home is filled with chew toys and stuffies you’ll find scattered about the floor and somedays even muddy paw prints that lead in from every door.

 

Furballs may roll out from hidden corners at the most inappropriate of times, they’re the ones we’ve somehow missed even though our vacuum has been working overtime.

 

If quick enough you’ll have your choice of seats, unless someone else lands there first. But be careful not to boast, more than likely, they’ll find it’s your lap that suits them most.

 

You’ll also find a joyful heart and most loyal friend indeed, willing to share their unconditional love with you, regardless of their breed.

 

So be prepared for lots of snuggles, and occasional kiss or two, even at meal time they may expect a little treat from you.

 

They say a home is where the heart is, and I couldn’t agree more, I give thanks each day a dog lives here, they guard my heart and keep danger from its door.

 

So you’re welcome to come visit and spend some time within but keep in mind it’s their home too, and they help decide who comes in.
