There is something about having a dog that changes a person. I know that this is true for me. Madison is my beautiful dog. I got her with an ex boyfriend and got her in the "divorce." From the beginning when she chose me, she has been my dog. After the break up and I was a single gal living on my own it was really hard to have limitations to my new found freedom. I had another life to look after. It was difficult at first and there were nights that I didn't know if I was up to the responsibility. Little did I know that I was and I am so grateful for that because I have learned what it is to love and to be loved unconditionally. It sounds sappy, but it's so true. It is like she is my daughter. I can come home after a hard day and she greets me at the front door wagging her tail so hard that it makes her butt wiggle. She covers me in kisses and can't get enough of me. No matter how I feel or look, no matter what my situation at present is, no matter my accomplishments, Madison loves me. That is unconditional. I have learned a lot from my relationship with my dog. I laugh as I reread that line cause I know what some of you will think, "she's just a dog." But if you own a dog I know you will understand. She is my best friend and I am so grateful for her.
