"Relationships, we all want them, we all need
them. What do we do with them?"
- Jimmy Buffett
The longest relationship that I have ever had with a female is with my dog Samantha. She has been with me for the past 17 years. Hard to believe.
I don't think writing about this is going to make my girlfriend too happy on Valentine's Days but I'll buy her some flowers and smooth everything over.
Anyway, Sammi was not even my dog. I was in a relationship with this lady who thought that I liked the dog more than her. Well, when she dumped me she asked me to leave her house, as I was backing my truck out the driveway I saw the door open.
Was she taking me back? Did she change her mind and figure out that she was throwing away a great opportunity with a great guy? In my mind's eye I could see her welcoming me back with open arms.
I was wrong.
As the door opened I saw Sammi come out and the door slammed behind her. I couldn't believe it. She didn't want Sam. What kind of cold hearted person could kick out her dog?
I opened my truck door, Sammi jumped in, and a few months later we opened our dog training business. I say we because she worked just as hard as I did getting it going.
She's been a great dog and I always feel a little sad now when I look at her. Her eyes are a little dimmer, her hearing is a almost gone, but she's still in good spirits and moves around well.
Right now she is lying next me sleeping. I think I'll sneak out and get my girl some flowers now.
Happy Valentines Day!
Your friend,
Eric
