I'm an ear man

"I love you best" she tells me. I knew that. I gave her the cuddly puppy face. You don't have to see it to get it. And J doesn't let me down. She scratches my snout and then rubs my ears. Of course she loves me best. I love her best, too. That's how it's supposed to be.

I'm an ear man. Always have been. I appreciate a good ear rub because my ears always bother me. Even when they don't they do. I'm just kind of used to it. Once you get used to ear itches, they always feel like they want something. J understands. She gives a good ear rub.

Today hasn't been bad. It started out tense. The kid overslept. We'll all be glad when school's out.

J was on the phone some, on the machine a little, and puttered a bit. But every phone call made her smile more. Every time she did an email, she got a little happier.

Little things one at a time to make a just fine day. Sometimes not having a bad day is a good day. You've just got to appreciate a snout scratch and an ear rub. That and a smile makes me a very happy dog.

Okay, she had me at the smile. But I love a good ear rub.
