Contest: What makes you smile 2 Sponsor Karen Jones Date 22/6/25 ___________________________________________________________ When my day has been pretty tough, And I have been dealing with lots of stuff, I know I will be smiling upon my return. I'll receive the best greeting anyone could earn. His little whimper telling me he was all on his own. I smile with gladness at the love I am shown. Laden with heavy bags of shopping. The one thing I have no hope of stopping, His favorite toy, he happily brings to me. Insisting I take it, as slobbery as it could be. This simply always makes me smile. Helping me bring the groceries in, takes a while. When all 160 pound of him does decide, The chair I am in is where he wishes to reside. His weight on my lap tells me something is amiss. I smile as he looks up and gives me a big kiss. Just as I settle to relax, I smile hearing the clock chime. He jumps up to get his harness, its walking time! When I eat my dinner, he knows to keep his distance. His constant surveillance shows definite persistence. Looking at me as if he had never been fed. I cant help but smile though it's a sight that I dread. A wink of my eye and he is to me in a dash. Gladly accepting all that I left and its gone in a flash. Nothing compares with the love of a Bullmastiff friend. He'll keep you smiling and be your protector til the end. He can be soft and cuddly and is super, super strong. His huge physique and cute black face, I smile all day long. He takes a place in line with the grandkids to get a treat. Keeps me smiling when he acts like a big kid, so sweet. He pounds his great tail against the wall. Breakfast time, I have to smile at his wake up call. He follows me to the kitchen "now what will it be?" There is some deboned chicken from last night's tea. I am off to work, I see him droop like a sad sack. I smile as I hug him and convince him I will be back.
