No, I totally understand what you're saying! Jackson IS my child (I'm a college student - so no "real" kids quite yet!) and I plan my stuff around him. Nobody else my age seems to understand but I care about him sooo much. Honestly - I don't really think he knows HOW much I love him. I don't think real children really grasp onto how much their parents love them either though until they get older. I think that's the beauty of dogs though is just how innocent they are in the way they think. I truly know Jackson ENJOYS his life though and it's soo nice to see him that way. I can just see the happiness in his eyes when it comes to certain things, and the greeting I get every single time I enter the house is priceless!! |
