The book, "Marley and Me" that I ordered online last week, finally arrived today by mail. I began reading it as soon as opening the mail package and cannot stop reading.
Those who never had a beloved pet as a forever companion would never know how much joy they bring to the families.

The following is the excerpt of "2006 Florida Pet Pages" that I deeply feel ditto.

What Dogs Do For Us
- Catch Frisbees. (My puppy catches balls or toys, instead.)
- Keep a night when your home alone from being truly lonely.
- Listen to our singing.
- Treat us like celebrities when we come home. (Totally!!)
- Warm up our beds on cold nights.
- Make our hearts move vigorous.
- Alert us to the arrival of the mail. (My puppy lets me know someone bangs on the door, but hides behind me. LOL.)
- Help us live a little longer.
- Make us smile. (All the time. That's why I luv ya, Guwol.)
- Agree with everything we say.
- Warm our knees with their chins.
- Provide a use for old tennis balls.
- Signal when a thunderstorm is coming. (Do they? I didn't know!)
- Help lower our blood pressure.
- Test how fast we can run.
- Keep the squirrels from overtaking our yards.
- Teach us the meaning of unconditional love.
