If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?
Pets. Where would we be without them?
I’ve always had some sort of pet growing up. Fish and dogs mainly. There was one brief stint of having a parakeet and my grandmother really wanted to have a canary again (that bird was no fun).
Today, I still have fish and a dog. Duke came into our lives three years ago. He has been a loyal trusted companion for the girls and me. You never really know how much they understand but I will say he is very intuitive. He picks up on things and just knows what to do.
What would I like Duke to understand? How much we love and appreciate his presence at home. I don’t know what we would have done without him. Perhaps, in some way, he already knows this.
