Lily

 The bond with a true dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth will ever be.

~ Konrad Lorenz

I am a much more social person when I have Lily with me than I am without her. I think it is because I feel an obligation since I represent her. She can't speak. She is nice and loving and generous. If I am my usual self, I am not doing right by her. 

Actually, when I am my nicest "I'm with Lily" self, I am not doing right by her - but closer to right. 

She is a wonderful dog. The weird part is that I think she thinks I'm a wonderful person. Don't misunderstand me. I AM a wonderful person. I just hide it really, really well. 

Except maybe from dogs.

Especially this dog.
