If my dog could talk, I know he would tell me how much he loves me; how much he appreciates getting his belly rubbed before he goes to bed; how much excitement he feels when he gets let outside. I would think he would tell me everything he possibly could. But since he can't, I'll speak for him, actually to him, about how much I love and appreciate him too.

Thank you for always putting me in a good mood.

Whether we are cuddling, playing around, or just catching a glimpse of your face, I know I feel a lot better. You always know when something is wrong, and know that I need attention.

Thank you for being my hardest goodbye and most favorite hello.

Leaving you tugs on my heart strings, but every time I walk back into our house, you run up to me and give me endless hugs and kisses.

Thank you for showing me wisdom that no one else has shown me.

He might just be a dog, but I have never felt so much love and kindness from anyone or anything like I have from my dog.

Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

Even though you can't notice when I haven't showered or if I don't have makeup on, you still look at me as if I am a queen.

You are so amazingly cool, and you don't even realize it.

The faces you make are priceless, and the littlest acts you do are so cute that I can't help but laugh. When you are sound asleep and you snore, you don't understand how cute (but loud) you sound.

Thank you for always being down to chill out.

Even if you fall asleep, I can always rely on you to spend time with me.

Thank you for expressing your happiness towards me.

Wagging that tail of yours shows me how happy you are to be with me. I may have a piece of food nearby, but I appreciate your excitement.

Thank you for being my companion, my best friend.

You are always there to lift me up when I am down. You can drive me bonkers sometimes, but I wouldn't want any other dog to call mine but you.
