My fine furry friend

My dog Scruffy is definitely my best friend. He's always here for me, greets me at the door with doggie kisses and listens to all my problems and gossip. I'm just glad he can't talk.

I've had a lot on my mind lately with repairs around the home. Our truck and my daughter's car need major repairs. We won't even get into my laptop or how an oil change almost ruined the engine in my car. The good news is that Lauren has a laptop we are sharing and my engine is okay.

So when I need to talk something out, I go to Scruff. He's a captive audience and actually acts like he's listening and cares. He even likes to cuddle and snuggle. Scruffy and I have come to the conclusion that I'm worrying too much about it and need to relax for a while. So we're watching "Michael," because it's one of our favorites.

There are some people who don't understand my attachment to my pets. One thing I want to say is that pets don't let you down, don't criticize, love you regardless and are always loyal. I think this makes for an excellent friend. BTW, Scruff and Lucy say hello. :)
