Since I've been an adult I've been loved by five dogs: Alex, Riley, Murphy, Sage and now Annie (hopefully she slows down long enough to love). With each one, the moment I picked them up, I told them: "I will take care of you for the rest of your life."It's a promise.
And I get a sense each one in their own way responded by figuring they'd take care of me, too.
As I've grown older I've gotten much better, I think, about my side of the equation. Not leaving them alone so long, being aware of things that frighten them, buying better dog food than grocery store made in China crap...they give me so much it's the best I can do to really care for them.
Murphy's day.
