She warms my heart

No, not Phoebe. Well, she does warm my heart but I am really talking about my sweet puppy Charlie. Here are the top ten things Charlie does that makes me so happy to have her in my life:

1. Wagging mini-tail every time I come up
2. Crazy high jumping on a regular basis
3. Non-stop energy for playing ball
4. So freaking cute you wouldn't believe it
5. Funny smile, especially when she's been running around
6. Scares herself when she has gas (because she doesn't know where the noise is coming from)
   
7. Gives me kisses when I am sad and when I'm not
8. Will do tricks for carrots or green beans
9. Curls up in bed next to me for naps
10. Unconditional love and constant affection

I do not understand non-dog people - who wouldn't want all of these wonderful things in their life? Sure, a dog is a lot of responsibility but there are so many benefits that they make up for any extra work or time commitment required.
