10 Reasons why Having a Dog Made My Life Better

1. I had to clean about 50% less.
2. I had someone to sleep with when Josh was away.
3. I had a 45 second warning before someone showed up at the door.
4. When I needed a hug and no one would give me one, my dog always would.
5. I had a really good excuse to take a walk.
6. I always had a welcoming party when I came home, and I knew I was special to someone.

7. Having a dog mellowed me out. My dog made me a kinder person.

8. I had someone to say "Protect the house" to before I left...and I knew he would, even with all of his 7 pounds.
9. I had a reason to laugh every day. My dog brought humor into our home.
10. People occasionally get mad/annoyed/irritated/bored of you. Dogs never do. I always had someone that loved me unconditionally. Even if I got mad at him-he never got mad at me. According to my dog, I, along with the rest of his pack (our family) were the greatest people on earth.

This makes me so sad. If our dog died I wouldn't know what to do!

Oh little Winston. What a good little dog he was.
