This is my "kid".Yes I know she is a dog,but I have no children and so all my energy and affection goes to Gracie.She does'nt judge me,or steal from me or use drigs and call me names.She does protect me,give me endless companionship and love.And she does ALL of this without asking anything in return,Right now we are both going thru changes because our home is under construction and since there is no electricity,we are having to stay with friends.And sleeping on someones couch can get old really fast.I go to the house every day,I come back across town every night to sleep and then start over again the next day.I just want my home back,my privacy,walks with Gracie to the dog park,my alone time.Saturdays are DVD night for me and Gracie,since we are not home,we cannot do that.Hopefully it won't be much longer and I'll be back to a routine.
