It's A Dog's Life

I came into work late today because I did not feel well this morning. My sinuses are killing me. (Why do people always various things are "killing them"? Imagine what that would look like if it were true.) I spilled a diet coke down the front of my shirt, now it looks like my right boob is leaking. I did not go to the gym today nor did I walk the dogs. It's raining and my head hurts.

Top Ten things I've learned since I got the new puppy:

1. It takes longer to house break a puppy than I would like.
2. No matter what you have in your hand, they think it's food.
3. Yes, dogs can be jealous of each other.
4. One dog will pretty much eat anything if it thinks the other dog is going to eat it—including broccoli.
5. Anything is a chew toy—my slippers, used tissues, unpaid bills. . . .
6. Life is better with dogs than without them.
7. They get excited—ecstatic—about going for a walk
8. Life is exciting for dogs—even the little things like a fallen leaf, a wooly worm, a pat on the head.
9. For dogs, nothing is better than a good nap.
10. And I have no doubt that dogs have the ability to feel love.

Maybe I should be more like my dogs.
