And yes, sometimes they are annoying - they chew socks, wake you up at 6 am - but it's almost like children, only without school and teenage crises. 😅

You can talk to them out loud, share plans, argue and laugh, and it seems that they don't care how the day went - they are just glad that someone familiar is nearby. Taking care of a dog is like taking care of a small child: you are completely responsible for its happiness, health, mood.

But there is magic too. ✨ When a dog snuggles up to you, when you feel its warm breath on your hand, you understand: this is unconditional love. No need to explain, no need to prove, no need to "show the result." It just is, and that's enough. ❤️

Sometimes it seems like a dog is a child who will never grow up and will always demand ice cream on demand. 🍦 Being an adult with a dog is like being an adult with children, only there is more joy and less drama. 🐾
