I love my dog!Alot

My dog is my everything and I would not get another pet to replace her when her time on this earth is done. She will be three years old next month so she will be around for a good while yet. Roxy, my Yorkie X is a definite member of the family and she knows it. Roxy likes to be included in everything and she is, for the most part. If for whatever reason she can not be, she gets a bit of an attitude which I can understand but when she isn't included it is for her best interest. Obviously I love her to bits. We all do. When I was a kid, I had cats. I like them too but as an adult, I always wanted my own dog. Two years ago I found little Roxy and haven't ever looked back. I didn't spend my last bit of money to purchase her from the previous owner as I felt that before I bought a dog, I needed to have X amount of money before hand as I knew that I would want a vet check up immediately and be able to have a bank account for the dog in case of any emergencies and other care such as routine vet visits, spay, food and doggie accessories such as harness and a warm coat for winter. Since she is small, 6.5 pounds, she need extra care and attention, especially when outside and at the doggie parks but I wouldn't have it any other way. Exercising her doesn't take as much as say a high energy Jack Russel but four times a day for outings does take up a good part of my days. Again, I wouldn't have it any other way. Roxy is a very Special Soul and is treated as such. The smiles, joy and laughter she brings to those she encounters is priceless and makes each day a fulfilling one. Even when her vet bills have amounted to hundreds in the past, excluding her spay, I don't regret it. She had an accident and needed emergency care. I was so fearful that I was about to loose my pup that I cried. I took her home afterward and nursed her back to health. She is fine now. Her health and well being is worth every penny and then some. Nothing is too good for my dog. She maybe somewhat spoiled but I don't see it that way. She knows where she sits in the hierarchy and that I am her leader. I love her so much that I too find it almost unbelievable myself. She is almost like a little person but I know she is a dog. It is that when I read her and interact with her personality, we are on so much the same page that at times, it is almost hard to believe that she is a dog, if that makes sense. I can go on and on about my little dog when talking with other dog people. I try not to boast but some things do lend to bragging rights. I have found that at times it sounds like I am exaggerating also but I am not. Our dogs can surprise us with their quirky and their intelligent behavior at times. When trying to share the experience with others it can easily sound like exaggeration, especially when the person knows how much we adore our dog. It is a dog owner thing. People that do not own a dog and never have could easily find our ramblings about our own as a huge story rather than the expression of our amazement of our pet based on fact. Each day with my dog is spent like there will be no tomorrow. Enjoy the time spent with your dog, having fun. They love us so unconditionally. I tell my dog everyday that I Love her very much and that she is so beautiful. Sometimes more than once in each day. The sweetest soul that I have ever encountered and not just because she is my dog but because she truly is!
