Mastodawn

It's funny how we let dogs into our homes/lives. They've got big teeth; big heavy paws with claws. They used to be dangerous.

But I'm doting on this guy, calling him Schmoopie face and Bubba and Fartacus. Diligently feeding him treats by hand, checking his ears, teeth and poops. Wiping his ouchie spots. Leaning over him as he sleeps, watching his chest rise and fall, listening to him snore. The only person I do this for is my 79 yo father. After heart surgery.

We probably have a lot of conditions for the people we let into our lives.

But dogs...we open our hearts wide. We scoop them up and never look back. We take their love and run.

@DeliaChristina so, so true. Even if they have iffy tummies or allergies, and in spite of their tendency to want to actually murder the mailman 😅 ah, dogs. 💜

If the mailman wasn't so sus in the first place, though.
Where did all the mail come from? Why does he show up every day? He was just here! This is clearly nefarious behavior.

Dogs are just asking the questions no one else bothers to ask.

@DeliaChristina we really did have a sus mail lady when we were living at my parents' place 🤣 she totally deserved it the time a neighbor's dog bit her. HA nobody was sorry.
