No creature on earth can give unconditional love to its family, quite like a dog.
You leave the house to walk to the mailbox, and upon return your dog greets you like you’ve returned from a month-long vacation. They don’t need much besides food, shelter, and your love.
Molly
We adopted Molly from our local animal shelter, but I don’t refer to our story as “rescuing” her. She was a puppy, and would have been quickly picked up by another family had we not set our hearts on her. True dog rescues, to me, are older dogs who have bounced around foster homes, and those deemed “unadoptable”; at many shelters facing euthanasia.
Molly is our snuggler. Quite the opposite of the dog we had before her, who preferred to lay on hard surfaces, Molly will lay down on any thing fluffy – blankets, freshly folded laundry, and any pile of softness.
This is my favorite … when I’m working, she curls up in her cuddly bed. Let sleeping dogs lie.
