What Your Dog Really Thinks About You......
 

     I am your dog and I have a little something I'd like to whisper in your ear.

I know that you humans lead busy lives. Some have to work, some have children to raise. It always seems like you are running here and there often much too fast. Often never noticing the truly grand things in life.

     Look down at me now while you sit there at your computer. See the way my

dark brown eyes look at yours? They are slightly cloudy now. That comes with age.

The grey hairs are beginning to ring my soft muzzle. You smile at me. I see love in

your eyes. What do you see in mine? Do you see a spirit? A soul inside who loves

you as no other could in the world? A spirit that would forgive all trespasses of

prior wrong doing for just a simple moment of your time?


     That is all I ask. To slow down if even for a few minutes to be with me. So

many times you have been saddened by the words you read on that screen, of others of my kind, passing. Sometimes we die young and oh so quickly, sometimes so suddenly it wrenches your heart out of your throat. Sometimes we age so slowly before your eyes that you may not even seem to know until the very end when we look at you with grizzled muzzles and cataract clouded eyes. Still the love is always there even when we must take that long sleep to run free in a distant land. 


     I may not be here tomorrow; I may not be here next week. Someday you will shed the water from your eyes that humans have when deep grief fills their souls, and you will be angry at yourself that you did not have just "One more day" with me.


     Because I love you so, your sorrow touches my spirit and grieves me. We have NOW together. So come sit down here next to me on the floor and look deep into my eyes. What do you see? If you look hard and deep enough we will talk, you and I, heart to heart. Come to me not as "alpha" or as"trainer" or even "Mom or Dad," come to me as a living soul and stroke my fur and let us look deep into one another’s eyes, and talk. I may tell you something about the fun of chasing a tennis ball or I

may tell you something profound about myself or even life in general. You decided to have me in your life because you wanted a soul to share such things with. Someone very different from you, and here I am.


     I am a dog but, I am alive. I feel emotion, I feel physical senses and I can

revel in the differences of our spirits and souls. I do not think of you as a "Dog on two feet" -- I know what you are. You are human in all your quirkiness and I love you still.


     Now come sit with me on the floor. Enter my world and let time slow down if only for 15 minutes. Look deep into my eyes, and whisper to my ears. Speak with your heart with your joy and I will know your true self. We may not have tomorrow and life is oh so very short. So please come sit with me now and let us share the precious moments we have together.


Love,
Your Dog
