I love dogs. (Duh...the world echoes. Rolling their eyes.)
No, really...my first words were about a dog.
"Gi Gi." That was my grandmas' dog.
Not "Ma Ma" or "Da Da" like most children..."Gi Gi."
As I grew, this did not surprise my parents.
Thankfully, I live in a city that is just as obsessed with the love and care of dogs as me. And if they're not obsessed, then they tolerate our love.
In Portland, dogs are a part of our family.
Family deserves the special treatment....
Even at the New Seasons Market they understand that and have a special area just for them. :0)
It's not a kennel...it's a "Four-Legged Friends Waiting Area." Perfect!
Oh. wow...ok, I may not act like this or say these things, but I definitely stress out over dogs being tied someplace or if they are loose without an owner. But, this is only because I want every dog to be as loved as my Murphy. Animals deserve our best. They are here to teach us love and compassion. Give them a chance, even if you have to ignore the wacky owners. The owners might not be able to teach you something, but the animals can.
I learn something everyday...even a simple reminder of JOY!!!
