It's ok I don't mind ...
I talk to my dog like he is person and I could swear he understands my every word....
When I come home from work I will greet him before my husband LOL ....
I have several nicknames for him .... Gabes, GabriAlice, "Little Bluebird", Buddy and my favorite "Giblets" ....
I like to have my quiet time with just him and if I could just sit and pet him for hours that would be ok with me :o) .....
At least 4 out of 7 days week I make him a cheese omelet for breakfast ...
I love that he loves me unconditionally ...
I love that I can yell at him or tell him NO and he never holds a grudge ...
I love that he is so big but he still gets scared and will come running to my side so I can protect him ...
If I could I would have a houseful of Mastiffs ... I don't mind the drool or the fur, etc ... when Brittany died I felt such a void in my house and my heart ... now Gabriel is here and though he will never replace her he has filled that void ... he keeps me on my toes and he has knocked me off my feet on several occasions but that's ok. He gets carried away and forgets that he weighs well over 150lbs (that is 'guestimate' but we will find out the true weight at our next vet appt) but still tries to sit on my lap :o) I know most people can't understand how I can let such a "big messy dog" live in my house but most of those people are not true "dog lovers" because when you are a true dog lover you can look past all those little inconveniences and realize that benefits of owning a dog far outweigh the negatives.
I treat my dog not as a pet but as part of my family.
I remember my good friend Maxine once told me when she dies she wants to come back as my dog LOL ... that was one of the nicest compliments anyone ever gave me :o)
