Do you own a pet? Ever think like you know what it is feeling? Kind of strange when you think about it isn't it?
We have a dwarf wire-haired dachshund that is a bit of a character. At times he seems more human than most humans. I feel a bit sorry for him of late though because since the baby arrived, he has lost his place as the only 'child'. He has handled it very well and he is very patient with our daughter who loves playing with his flappy ears.
Sometimes though, he has to wait before he can get his attention and he sits there staring at us with the most forelorn look on his face. As said, it is strange that I think I know what a dog is feeling by the way it appears to act out human emotions.
We go out of our way to look after him though and today was the first pinecone chasing day of the Spring. Soon (tomorrow if the weather is okayish), we will start running together to try and get our old bodies moving adequately again after a long winter.
If you have pets, be sure to take good care of them because they invest all they have into us.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Ps. Don't tell my wife I am sentimental about the dog...
