I am one of those people who has a few really great friends (lets call them best friends), and a lot of people who I care about enough to call them friends. There is that one best friend who we will refer to as a sister basically. I mean we have been through quite a bit together and she has seen me at my worst... so shes earned the title of best friend for sure. Then there are those furry friends that are more than just pets. They are more than best friends honestly, they are best Fur-riends. They are as loyal as that piece of spinach in your teeth. Sticking with you until the very end, by your side through thick and thin. My best fur-riend is my dog, Delilah. I rescued her as a puppy, shes only a year and a half now but she is basically still a pup. She is the most amazing thing, I got really really lucky finding her. I never knew how much I actually needed her until I found her. She just lays in her spot on the couch or my bed and looks up at me with her beautiful brown eyes and I can't help but melt. She listens to me when I tell her things like about my day or how to fold t shirts properly, I mean most people probably think I'm crazy talking to my dog like she is an actual person, but she is the best listener. I know she understands me because she doesn't lose focus when I am talking to her and she doesn't break eye contact, even when that pesky cat runs by. When I am sad she senses it and comes up to me and puts her paw on my leg, or her head on my chest. When I am having an anxiety attack, or I am just really anxious about something she will press her whole body against mine and it honestly helps. If you have ever heard of Temple Grandin, or watched the movie about her, she creates an invention called the hugging machine to help calm her down when she is feeling anxious or stressed. Delilah is my makeshift hugging machine. I have no idea how its possible but this dog just gets me. How did I get so lucky? People might think that I rescued her or saved her.. but honestly, she rescued me.. She saved me.
If you're reading this and you are feeling like there is a void in your life, whether it be big or small, go to your local shelter and adopt a best fur-riend. It will be the best decision of your life. You are saving this amazing animal and in return they will save you...
ps. don't be that jerk who hurts/abuses these poor animals.. They just want to love you. That is all they want.. YES they get excited, YES they lick your face after licking their butts.. YES they can do things to make you upset BUT THAT DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO HIT THEM!! To them you are their hero and they just want to show you all the love and appreciation they have for you and hope for your love in return.
I apologize for my rant and about gushing about my dog. To bring this lovely post to an end here is a picture of my dog. Shes amazing.
Love you always my Lilah-Bean.
