I adopted four dogs from shelters and took another from a neighbor that was going to give her up.
I've thrown more tennis balls for them to retrieve than I can count.
I've dug out walking paths through the snow longer than my driveway.
I've gone to the vet more than I've gone to the doctor.
I've slept on the very edge of the bed because they wanted the middle.
I've slept on the floor after one had surgery.
I've purchased rawhide bones by the case. (My Max went through 2 a week.)
I've given up vacations to stay home with them as they got old.
I've watched four of them pass on to a better place.
I thought I was doing it all for them, but I finally realized I was also doing it for me.
Having a dog is having an adventure.
