When J’s dog Jake seeks attention He perks up, wags his tail, shows his underside for affection. Then he looks at you with those infamous puppy dog eyes- A look of longing with a hint of mischievous delight! Jake sheds, all over the place, likes the spot between your legs, and whenever you pet him the odor stays on your fingertips. The vacuum gets run everyday to tidy up his mess! And when you’re not looking, he’ll climb onto your bed. He’ll stare at you when he’s hungry or just wants a long pat. All his foibles and unpleasantries are enough to exasperate! But as soon as he smiles, it lights up his whole body- No wonder dogs and babies are the pictures in most ads! Pure delight tied to loyalty with no strings attached. He makes you want to give in, and stand always beside him!
