My Dog Will Always Win, Or Maybe I Am A Softie

I love animals, sometimes more than people.

I love dogs. I love cats. I honestly love animals.

How can you not love animals? I pet them all. I have befriended street dogs, and they know that if they see me I will give them love.

Also, I have noticed in recent years, animals just come to me. If I am sitting and there is a cat nearby, they will crawl on my lap. A dog will come up to me.

Maybe it happens to everyone, but I love it. If I had a place big enough, I would adopt all the dogs in the streets and give them a home.

We just finished yoga

So how does my dog always win?

Well first of all I am pretty sure she has ME trained. Yes, she is also trained, yet I am pretty sure she has the upper hand with me at least.

I take her for a walk every single day. We have a good-sized yard, she does not necessarily need a walk. But since I have moved in, I like to walk, and I just started taking her.

So now if it is past 3 in the afternoon, she starts getting ancy, jumping on me, licking me, barking at me…
