Canine Spelled Backwards by Valerie Halla
DOGS ARE HERE FOR A REASON AND IT COULD BE FOR YOU!
If you are going through a tough time in your life, get a dog. If you have a dog, take it for a walk or play with your canine buddy.
If you are depressed, pet your dog for about ten minutes. If you’re depressed and do not have a dog, go by your local animal shelter and sit with a dog. Talk to the sweet animal. It will listen. Trust me. You will feel better and so will the dog. You do not need to adopt the dog, just visit a few times now and then. Or borrow a friend’s dog.
If you’re feeling the need to give to a charity or help your community some way, go volunteer at an animal shelter or foster a dog, or kitten! If you cannot get out and are home bound, donate a little dough or bag of dog food or cat chow.
If you’re overworked, go home to a great friend who will love you unconditionally and wag with unfettered affection as you walk in the door.
If you’re angry and upset, a dog doesn’t want you to be in that state so just wait a few minutes before approaching your pet.
If you need someone to talk to, blabber away at a dog. They will find your conversation fascinating.
Many people give their dog a royal name: Queenie, Rex, Prince, Duke, Duchess. Do they do that to signify that the dog is considered equal to royalty? Their dog should be put on a throne? I have known dogs named for their furry characteristics: Fluffy, Cocoa, Brownie, Midnight, Penney. Others are named for being a true friend: Pal, Buddy, Bro, Dude. Many silly names come up also or celebrity names given to dogs or names in foreign languages. Naming your dog is a personal decision.
I’m just saying that a dog can help you through life. You don’t believe me? Try it. If you have already tried all those things mentioned above, I congratulate you. If you already know all that dogs can do for you, then you’re a smarty. Go tell your dog, whatever its name, (who should be called Angel from Heaven) that he/she is a goood dawg.
“DO YOU HAVE TO SHOW YOU LOVE ME THAT WAY?”
Those 70ish Girls 
Amen!! Well written and absolutely the truth. I couldn’t live this life without my pups.
