So this weekend my family and I had a scare with our chocolate Labrador Abbie. She was running around like she normally does, but quickly fell, started vomiting and passed out. It was funny now that I look back at it; all 4 of us rushing to her side...she's okay now, she just had a funny reaction to immediate exercise right after eating. There were three older ladies staring at my family and I as we sat in the vet's office waiting to hear what happened, they had probably thought she died the way we were all crying...but it really made me think, what would our life be without her...
I know everyone says that a dog is, "a man's best friend." In my case more like a "girl's best friend." You can't imagine until you have a dog of your very own the amount of love you can carry for something so non-human like. It's rather strange, yet acceptable. My Abbie is hyper, and jumps on the couch, jumps on the bed and chews about everything in sight, but I would have it no other way.
A dog creates in you an unexplainable joy which rejuvenates your soul. The days when I'm lonely, sad, happy, mad; Abbie has been there by my side. She looks up to me, follows me everywhere, and always looks for an excuse to go on a walk or to earn a treat. There is a sense of unconditional love, and she always reminds me to love others in the way she loves me and my family. She truly is a girl's best friend...
