***************************
reason one:
its been over 11 years since we found you, abandoned twice with little hope, at a last chance shelter. you looked at me with those 'puppy pound' eyes, (just as you have every day since) and melted my heart.
reason two:
you taught 4 young children how to love a doggie, you gave them memories to take into their adult lives of 'our first family dog', something so simple and yet such a gift
reason three:
you wear a floral neckerchief
reason four:
you keep secrets better than anyone else i know
reason five:
you taught a pesky dog how to be a little less pesky and in return, said pesky doggie taught you in your twilight years to be a 'little pesky'
reason six:
when you spy a squirrel at the bottom of the yard, you still believe there is one half of a 2 year old greyhound inside of your aging 13 year old body
reason seven:
you fall over, but always pick yourself up
reason eight:
despite the odds stacked way way against you, nearly 5 months on you are thinking about changing your name from Used Dog to Miracle Dog and quite rightly so
reason nine:
you are without a doubt, the most preciously peachy second hand forsaken soul i have ever found
reason ten:
for nearly 12 years you have been my constant canine companion, my best friend, and my good fortune
