"Just a Dog!!"

From time to time people tell me, "Lighten up, It's just a dog," or,
"That's a lot of momey for just a dog." They don't understand the
distance traveled, the time spent or the costs involved for "just a dog".

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog".

Many hour have passed  and my only company was "just a dog",
but I do not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog".
and, in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me
comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog", then 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 into the future.

So for me , and the folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but 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 they can understand that it's not "just a dog"
but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me being "just a human.

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog" just smile.......
Because they "just don't understand".
