Dogs give so much back.
They really do. I spent as much time as I could every day showing her how thankful I was to have her with me. The amount of times I hugged that dog and told her I loved her each day is impossible to know. I often joked to people that knew her that she must've been so annoyed at how often I'd run up to her when she's all comfy, haha.
I can remember when I had a dog. When she was at the puppy stage, I wanted to wake her up. When she was awake, she tired me out, so I wanted her to go to sleep! Love dogs.
