"Aquiring a dog
may be the only opportunity
a human ever has
to choose a relative."
No truer words have ever been spoken. My two little Westies are the best relatives that anyone could ever wish for. They are unassuming, unpretentious, undemanding, do whatever I ask, mind pretty good (better than most kids I've been around-including my own), and they love me unconditionally! They don't care if I'm in a good mood or bad mood, they don't care if I smell from being outside working, they don't care if I put on weight or fail to take some off, they don't care if I walk around without makeup and my hair a mess, they don't care if I wear old tee shirts with holes in them around the house, they don't care if I occasionally rant & rave, and they are totally loyal and trustworthy, and never tell on me for anything-not if I say something unkind about someone or something, have an occasional drink (which would be very rare-but a nice piece of gossip just the same), or even if I run naked from the bathroom to the utility room to fetch a clean shirt out of the dryer. They don't care if the house is clean, or the yard work is done; and they don't care what I'm fixing for dinner, or when I fix it. I know that I can trust them completely - I can leave home alone for the evening and never have to worry about them throwing some wild party and inviting a bunch of friends in to trash the place. Last but not least, they never criticize me for anything - not even if I forget their treats at the store! They are truly my best friends.
Now how many human relatives fall into that category?

How nice to sign on and see The Girls. I suppose they're watching out for squirrels, standing there at the window.
The Girls are beautiful and I wouldn't trade my girls for anything. You are right, there is no human relative that can match what my girls give me. Of course I love my human relatives but my girls are special.
