Lazily relaxing in a warm ray of light cascading through the window, I lie quietly in my kennel dreaming of what this day may hold. Visions of my favorite things slowly wind their way across my mind as I take pleasure in each moment contemplating what it would be like to savor every experience. I dreamt of getting to run and jump all I want and chasing those pesky squirrels out of my yard. I enjoyed the wonder and warmth of touch as I remembered the feel of my master’s hand gently massaging my back. The comforting of the petting strokes and the beautiful tone of her voice as she softly spoke my name in reassurance of her love and devotion.

She is definitely my favorite person. It seemed like forever while she was gone and I was here all alone, waiting. How exciting it was though when we were together again. I got all jittery and jumpy at just the whirring sound of the garage door opening and then finally the hum of the car pulling inside. It was the first signal that my long stretch of heartrending loneliness was over at last and she was home once again. She smiled walking in the door; I saw the sparkle in her eyes. Oh, the waiting! It was like pure torture as she walked across the room to put down her stuff, and then, oh the jittery excitement that overcame me as she finally walked over to me.

She let me out of the kennel and I jumped and barked and licked until I almost couldn’t breathe. She reached down to pet my head and rub behind my ears. It was wonderful!

“Want to go out?” she asked. And I jumped some more! Outside, oh yes, I wanted to go outside!

I want so badly to please her. She is after all my greatest admirer. Clapping her hands and saying my name with such excitement she was ready willing to play games with me. Time after time, she threw the ball and each time I ran to go get it back for her until my legs got weak and my tongue was hanging out. I do wonder sometimes why she does that; throws the ball over and over? But I do love to run, so why not!

She always meets my needs and in truth, spoils me rotten. I want for nothing really. My belly is full; I have a comfortable puppy house filled with all of the warm fuzzy blankets I could ever want. I have my toys and I have someone who loves me. As I see it, from my canine viewpoint, I have it all! Of course, there could always be room for improvement I suppose, like all the bacon treats I could eat!
