Sometimes Life is Hard

It was a hard day, for no specific reason, it's just life man.

Sometimes life is hard.

I was sitting on the floor crying. She was lying on the bed with her head hanging off the side. (Yes, I see the irony of me on the floor and the dog on the bed, moving on.)

I look up and see her big dark chocolate eyes watching me (she's always watching me). I take a few deep breaths, blow my nose and reach up to grab her paw.

I want to thank her for being there, for sitting with me in my pitiful moment.

Never taking her eyes off of me she slowly rolls on her side and lays her other paw on top of my hand. I cried again y'all, but this time for a different reason.

Sometimes, when you’re trying to be stronger than you feel, you just need someone to hold your hand, even if that someone has four paws and licks their own butt.

It's overused, but it's the truest statement ever.

We don't deserve dogs.

She may not be perfect but she’s as close as they come
