Who Needs Grandchildren?

I'm taking him to concerts out there on the lawn have to sit and suffer middle school jazz band and pretend to like it with the rest of us I'm taking him to the bank and then to taco bell maybe to the car wash oh what the hell we have to go to training teaching in a pack sometimes he wants to eat a small dog yap yap yap he heels like a champ now but he wont come when I call there's nothing better than dog love nothing better at all at night we get worn out walking and then we sit and read sometimes we have a moment when we know our love is real eye to eye and big dog kiss who could want anything more than this?

No way - my sisters are besotted with their grandchildren, I am not interested in babies - Dogs are more satisfying companions without a doubt. Raising children was not that satisfying. However I now have an idea for writing about dog love vs puppy love - very different.

Such a lively, uplifting tribute to the love of man's (and woman's) best friend! Isn't it great the way pets love us so unconditionally? Who else would be satisfied with a pat on the head and a bowl of food? Certainly, no one "could want anything more than this." Love it! Carolyn
