The Bargain

Categories
Lifestyle

CharcoalIt’s 7 years now that Charcoal (our 14 pound hypo allergenic Schnoodle) has resided with us and abided by our wonderful unspoken Bargain. 

In return for 2 feedings a day, walks whenever she gives me “the look”, post walk treats, bimonthly groomings and water in her dish she serves as our undocumented Therapy Dog with lavish lap time, watch dog duty, animated tail wagging, clean my plate/dish washing, bed time cuddling and far far more.  

I consider myself a good negotiator, but don’t tell her:  This is the best deal ever!

We Love you Charcoal with all our hearts!

You both made out on the deal

I’m far from perfect and I admit I was wrong and you were right about dogs!

Thank you Jason and Paul for edits. Surprised Dana missed it!

John and George would agree - now that we are all staying at home - they are getting daily - multiple walks - but now they seem like they are becoming very demanding. Hmmm. Perhaps time to get back to work in the office (one of these days)

Dogs will love always no matter what you return back to them. They never argue back or disagree or even really complain. They are truly special and add so much to our lives.

Love this. They are Good for our hearts and souls. Our two kitties keep us laughing and calm. We talk to each other through them. Lol. They are worth their weight in gold - bring on the endorphins and serotonin!

(And to Vincent’s point - yes strangely demanding! Treats, brushing, mealtime to the minute..... good thing you don’t walk cats. Lol)

This from the man who protested and was NEVER going to have a dog! Indeed you're a good negotiator - you negotiated a win-win on this one.

Cats are far cooler and independent

Erin, Charcoal and I take a bike ride at 11:00 each day.

Did you know Poco has a dog song? Paul Cotton wrote and sings lead on it. It's on the From the Inside LP. I live the live version better.
