Lessons about love I learned from this dog:
1) No matter what; no matter how comfortable you were, no matter how cold, tired, or busy… NO MATTER WHAT, never miss the opportunity to sleep next to YOUR ONE person, and do it with the same appreciation, as the VERY FIRST TIME, because you know you’re lucky enough to get to.
2) Love your one person unconditionally, even when they don’t love themselves. ESPECIALLY THEN.
And make DAMN sure to keep your whole body in contact with theirs, keep them warm, and EVEN when they roll over, be SURE YOU let them know you’re with them, even if you think you’re in trouble, and you think they don’t want you
there.
3) If your one person says your name, stop everything and go find them. No matter what you’re doing. No matter how many times in a row. WHATEVER the reason, even if there’s no reason, prove to them you’ll be there, EVERY SINGLE TIME, even when it’s the last thing you want to do.
