Sometimes, you get desperate. You come up with anything you can think of in order to get people to notice you. Bands do it all the time. “Lost Dog” will get people to pay attention because no one wants to feel the pain of losing their dog. Then, the hope is that they’ll forgive you for the lies and stick around to hear the music.
Other garage bands have used such tactics, calling themselves “Free Beer” and more. Heck, there’s a reason we have “Quality Erections” billboards throughout Sherman Country.
Claiming “Lost Dog” isn’t really fair, though. It toys with our emotions. Our dogs are our best friends, and the thought of losing them can bring a burning tear to our eyes.
My goal in life is to become as wonderful as my dog thinks I am.
Whoever Said You Can’t Buy Happiness…
“Whoever said you can’t buy happiness forgot about puppies.” – Unknown
Have you noticed that many people claim you can’t buy happiness? Millionaires and billionaires claim that money won’t make you happy.
That’s not true, though.
It’s all about what you spend your money on. Anyone who wants to argue with me is welcome to hand over a million dollars so that I can prove them wrong.
I promise you that I can be very happy by buying a few puppies. And a lot of acreage for those puppies to run around on. They’ll be happy, I’ll be happy. It’s a win-win for everyone involved. And it wouldn’t even take a million dollars to make it happen.
The spoiled dog at my feet can also become very happy with a new bed, a new chew toy, and a few special treats from the dog bakery down the street.
I threw a ball for my dog… It’s a bit extravagant I know, but it was his birthday and he looks great in a dinner jacket.
I love all sorts of toys, too, though I wouldn’t be chewing on mine. As I’ve gotten older, my toys are more expensive but again, they do bring me happiness. Snowmobiles, wave runners, tractors, sports cars, and the list goes on.
With a detached garage on my property to house them all in, I’d be even happier. Of course, for the ultimate level of happiness, it has to be built by Sherman. There’s no one else I’d trust with a pole barn that is responsible for housing my toys.
See? Happiness can be bought.
Dogs are Excellent Judges of Character
“If our dog doesn’t like you, we probably won’t, either.” – Unknown
There’s a good reason to keep a dog around. Besides the companionship they offer and the wet kisses they give so freely, they can be sure to judge anyone who dares to step foot on your property.
Knock, knock. The dog loses its shit at whoever is at the door.
You greet them, your dog gives them a sniff from top to bottom. If the dog steps aside, you can hear them out. If the dog continues to bark, you might as well shut the door in the face of whoever disturbed your peace.
I could have saved myself a lot of heartache and stress over the years if I had just listened to my dog.
“If aliens saw us walking our dogs and picking up their poop, who would they think is in charge?” – Unknown
I’ve had dogs who didn’t like my girlfriends. I’ve had a dog who didn’t like a boss. And I’ve had a dog that has told me all about a few of my neighbors. If only I’d listened.
Instead, I dealt with heartbreak. I spent entirely too long at a job that I hated. And neighbors have taken advantage of me.
Honestly, dogs are too good. We don’t deserve them. If my dog wants a belly rub, it’s the least that I can do. I’d build an entire pole barn for them if they wanted one, but I happen to have one that loves sleeping at the foot of my bed. I’ll admit, it’s definitely not the worst thing ever. Dog snuggles can lead to a very sound sleep.
Make Your Home the Place You Want to Stay
Roger Caras once said, “Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.”
This is so true. And there’s a 100% chance that I’d rather be home with my dog. No one greets me quite like the way that my dog does. He’s my loyal companion, watching TV with me, staring at me while I eat a sandwich, and demanding a game of fetch anytime I walk outside.
Franklin P. Jones was quoted as saying, “Scratch a dog and you’ll find a permanent job.” I’m not even mad about it. Scratching my dog is therapeutic. When I’m in a funk, my dog knows just what to do. He demands scratches and rubs. Within a few minutes, he’s happy and I’m feeling better. It’s amazing how that works.
Since your dog is waiting for you at home, that’s where you’d rather be. So you might as well make the place into the kind of home you absolutely love.
“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.” – Josh Billings
