It's Just a Dog...

• It's Just a Dog... spiritdogs Posted : 7/11/2006 6:25:37 PM JUST A DOG   From time to time, people tell me, lighten up, its just a dog, or, thats a lot of money for just a dog.  They dont understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for just a dog.   Some of my proudest moments have come about with just a dog. Many hours have passed and my only company was just a dog, but I did not once feel slighted.   Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by just a dog, And in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of just a dog gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.   If you, too, think its just a dog, then you will probably understand phrases like just a friend, just a sunrise, or just a promise.   Just a dog brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.   Just a dog brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of just a dog, I will rise early, take long walks, and look longingly to the future.  So for me and folks like me, its not just a dog but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.   Just a dog brings out whats good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.   I hope that some day they can understand that its not just a dog but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being just a man or woman. So the next time you hear the phrase just a dog just smile because they just dont understand.   Author Unknown     LIKE 12 REPLIES 426 VIEWS LAST POST XERXES Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• welovesammy Posted : 7/11/2006 9:22:32 PM Sadly, I used to wonder about people and pets.  Now, I'm "one of those dog people". []  I love my dog and other dogs!!  All pets are awesome though...   Thanks for sharing that. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• tacran Posted : 7/11/2006 11:47:32 PM Oh so very true!  I'd like to enlarge that and make a sign to hang around my neck, or post it on my front door or on my car or something.  It's true that some people don't get it (I don't spend a lot of time with such people unless I have to!)
