I promise….
To bark until I make you crazy
To chew up your favourite shoes
To dig holes in every garden you build
To shed in places you didn’t know possible
To drool on every window of your home
To introduce you to new people who will expand your life
To life your burdens when they feel heavy
To teach and share with you the meaning of unconditional love
To make you laugh
To teach you to believe in things unseen
To expand your heart like never before
… that is my promise
