Just a Dog
I
- for those of you who think I've lost my mind with the whole dog thing. LOL!
Just a Dog
From time to time, people tell me "Lighten up, it's just a dog" or, "That's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, time spent, or costs involved for "Just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "Just a dog." Many hours have passed with my only company being "Just a dog," and not once have I felt slighted. Some of my saddest moments were brought about by "Just a dog." In those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" provided comfort and purpose to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.
For me, and folks like me, it's not "just a dog." It's an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. "Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday people can understand it's not "just a dog." It's the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a man or woman."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog," smile, because they "just don't understand."

Hello
My name is Jennifer and The Working Mom is my online journal. I'm very bad about updating it regularly. I like writing, but not as much as I
like
coding
. I am a wife, and a mom to 2 kids and a dog. I am also a WordPress enthusiast/geek/devotee.
