I don't know how I left my two dogs out of the OP for things I am truly grateful for. Max and Annabelle are always there to listen and bring a smile. I know it sounds goofy but I can't envision life without a dog or two around the house. I have had dogs my entire life and will continue to do so as long as I can take care of them. They have heard and seen me at my worst and still stay by my side. Dogs have a special way of calming and removing stress from my life and I am grateful they keep me around.
