I overheard Mama talking to her friend on the phone the other day about how hard it's been to find a reason to smile lately. I couldn't believe what I was hearing...Yeah, sure...there is a bunch of sad, scary and maddening human stuff going on in the world but, she has ME around every day!
So I decided to tell Mama are at least three things she has to smile about every day when I'm around!
First Mama....do you know how lucky you are to wake up with me right next to your face every morning. How could you NOT smile when I give you your morning kisses before you even open your eyes. Yes, I may have REALLY bad morning breath but sheesh, your breath isn't exactly flowery Mama!
Next, unlike Rosy and Arty who nap and play outside, I follow you around all day to make sure you are safe. At any time you can turn around and see my loving face looking up at you. I don't even mind that much when you trip over me! What's not to smile about?
Finally, I know Rosy likes to snuggle on your legs, Arty likes to sit next to you on the middle of the couch BUT you get to hold me RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR SIDE every night while we snuggle. How lucky are you Mama, to have three dogs to love you soooo much.
So next time you need a reason to smile, look no further than your home and the wonderful animals who love you!
oh you said it super well! and you are a reason to smile... every day!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes Jakey, it's good to remind the humans of this important point.

You are so right, Jakey. We pups can make our peeps smile lots and lots!
ReplyDeleteRight on, buddy! Mom tells us all the time that we three are her happy place. We keep her going and smiling. It's a dog's job.
ReplyDeleteJakey, you have grown into wisdom beyond your years ... and we are glad you are sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% Jackie! I smile everytime I look at big boy. I looked at him and smiled when he's sleeping when he's upside down when he's sprawled out on cold tile when he's laying in the sun outside when he's laying in the shade outside. He always makes me smile
ReplyDeleteYou are one smart pup, Jakey. What great advice for all the humans.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. My best to your siblings and your lucky mom. ♥
You are so right Jakey. My Alex makes me smile. When I come home from work, he runs to the door all smiles and and wagging his tail like crazy - what a great greeting!!!!

ReplyDeleteGood reasons to smile there, I smile most days and even laugh most days because life should be enjoyed and happiness can be a choice
