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 Today I got to see a blue pittie puppy and it made me think of Benson, which in turn made me think of this

@flopperdog haha! I think all the folks who follow #BensonUpdate are also in long distance relationships with him.

I was just thinking today that I wanted to sit somewhere and have blue nose pittie puppies scamper all over me for an hour or so. I want to snuggle a puppy!!
