Day 2 "In a perfect world, every dog would have a home and every home would have a dog."

Well what is there to say really?? I guess I will talk about my dog, make sense right?? Ha!! Well my dog, Gracie, she is 13 now and still going strong though deaf. The irony of my dog being deaf!!! I believe she actually is using this to her advantage. You see my dog was always a well-trained, well-behaved dog. One of the best and I truly am not just saying that BUT then she started to get old and now she is deaf, so she begs a retarded amount!!! Stares so intently, innocently at you but you just know she is plotting her quest to food scraps. And now seeing as she is deaf, she can't hear you yelling at her to get out of the kitchen, stop begging, go to your room!! (Yes she has her own room, which if a person she is not too familiar with enters, she will follow the person and sit in there until they leave.)

But we make do, her and I, you see I figure since I have horrible hearing and awful ears, we have a new bond, the dog and I. We have developed this sign language (I did already teach her hand signals when she was a puppy, things such as; sit, lie down, stay etc.) and she now knows when to scram, when to stay, though I have to admit that for obvious reasons, come here is still a challenge since you need to call her when she is out of eye sight, but alas, life hands my pup and I lemons, we make some damn lemonade (maybe a wee splash of tequila haha!)

Oh the memories dog, the batteries you loved to eat, the soap bubbles you loved to lick, the loyal as ever, excited everytime to see you no matter how the day was!!!

Ah but I figure she was so good and well she's old, I mean she is 91 after all!! So she can beg all she wants, sleep all she wants, be loved all she wants and well have her moments of frustration (she has little pig sounding snorty noises when the little dog bugs her or she doesnt want to stay when you tell her) all she wants!!

So yeah I guess that ramble advised you that ..... yup you got it, Today's I Love .... About Life says that today, (and everyday) I LOVE my damn dog!!! Not going to lie, she is pretty rad, yup!!

To Gracie my puppy!! May you live a few years longer in health my puppers!!

And I leave you with two dog quotes:
