The Lucky Ones-Life with a dog

You’re always pleased to see us anytime of the day and in any mood we’re in.
You’re so predictable but never boring.
You make us laugh and sometimes you make us mad, but you never make us cry.
You helped us learn more about ourselves and get over some of our unfounded fears.
You’re always great to watch even when you sleep peacefully in your bed.
You’re never self-conscious and always alert.
You’re forever grateful for everything we give you.
You’re protective, even-tempered, playful and fiercely loyal.
You have a naughty streak in you but you never forget your place in the pecking order.
Your boundless energy is only matched with your obsessive curiosity.
You fill up those quiet moments when you know we just want to relax and listen to music.
You patiently wait for our return and when we do, you show us so much joy and excitement.
You never complain and you offer us unconditional love, no ifs, no buts.
You have enhanced our lives no end. Life will never be the same without you.
We love you Sam. Our lives changed the moment you came in it.
We are the lucky ones.
