• Why I Love My Dog

  
  

  1. She never complains that she gets the broken pretzels.
  2. She doesn't try to get on the keyboard while I type (unlike a certain cat I could name.)
  3. She plays nicely with my kids.  (see the part about the above mentioned cat.)
  4. She is so excited to see me that she does back flips.  (Okay, that could be because I give her treats)

  
  

  As I'm sitting here surfing the internet, Simone is lying in a patch of warm sunshine just a couple feet away from my right foot.  I know without testing that if I stand up, so will she.  She doesn't get under my feet, but she stays right at my side as I move through the house.  This is amazing to me.  I'm one of those disorganized people who cannot carry a letter from the door to my desk without getting distracted a dozen times and making multiple trips from one side of the house to the other.  But she never gives up, she just makes those trips with me.  That's cool.
