My Dogs My Love

I have often questioned myself if ever I am asked to choose between my my child and my dog who would I choose ?  It may sound strange to those who are not dog lovers but the dog lovers like me are sure to understand where I am coming from and and the sentiments attached to my question.The very first time I realized what unconditional love meant it was the very first time I held each my puppy in my arms . Yes I am talking about Dogs, they not only give us their absolute all . We are the center of their universe. We are the focus of their love and faith and trust. They serve us in return for scraps. It is without a doubt the best deal man could have ever had.  They are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole ,A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself. Indeed A God's gift to mankind !

"I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; and I'm sure he understands. When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught thereat. For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that " ~W. Dayton Wedgefarth
That's Nero in the picture above , one of my dogs who turned two years old in Jan 2014. The  picture was taken three days after he stepped into our life .Nero has grown up to be a young handsome boy , unlike other labs he is muscular , extremely active  four and a half feet tall on his toes, and of course a spoilt brat who keeps us occupied whole day long . He consumes all my energy by the time I get into bed for sleep and I am so much in love with him  that I don't feel like going out for work and oflate I realized he has become my only companion and it is absolutely right to say " labs are like humans" ! My daughter often on a lighter note comments  " Mom I won't be surprised if  both of us get kidnapped and you are asked to choose between me and Nero , You would choose him " Every time she comments I look at both of them and tell her " Yes I will choose him , not  because I love him more than I love you  but for the only reason that you will somehow find a way out to escape but Nero will be lost " I often wonder if my daughter was only a few months old and I am asked to choose between two of them my only option in that case would  be " Take my life and spare  both of them" Such is love between a hardcore pet lover( though using the word pet lover would be wrong as I can fall in love with any innocent animal ) and the pet .I wish I could share my Nero's pics but I am too scared of evil eye !
