Long while back I had a sweet, intelligent, well-trained German Shepherd who became a little nervous when it got real windy. One howling of a wind storm night, she crawled up in bed with us, making herself as small as possible (too cute). Boyfriend made some disparaging comment about her coming between us, I liked her more than him...whaa, whaaa, whaaaa...to which I responded, "You know what?She's scared, she's staying on the bed, and besides, she'll be around long after your gone." Need I mention that my girl and I spend many happy years alone together without the whiny ex-boyfriend. My girl was more understanding, loving, reasonable, fun and steadfast than most 'boyfriends.' I never-ever put any guy before one of my canine units---ever! A good man would never ask you to choose, an intelligent man would know better knowing the choice, and a sensitive loving man would have no need to ask the question, but would share in your joy and love both you and your little one--problems or not. |
