I admit it.
I spoil the shit out of Goddess.
Every morning I get up, kiss Sarah, shower, dress and throw Goddess a treat as I leave for coffee at The Breakfast Club.
Returning a short time later for Sarah's breakfast, she readies for work,
Goddess ... and her two brothers ... Winston, The Little Gay Dog and Gypsy, the formerly gender confused cat ... all go nuts for treats.
Walking into the bathroom first, I kiss my wife as the dogs and the cat do this crazy dance and make lots of noise.
"Alright, alright," I laugh, "Let's go!
The animals follow me into the kitchen, I grab handfuls of dog treats ... open the sliding glass doors ... throw them out ... the dogs run out the Road Runner ... slide the door shut ... feel Gypsy curling around my bare feet ... so I give him treats.
This buys a moments retrieve.
I go to the bathroom.
Exiting ... the dogs are pawing the sliding glass doors.
Sliding the door open, they rush back in wanting more treats.
"Eat your breakfast Winston you beloved little faggot," I say ... and he eats.
I give Goddess another treat.
Gypsy, TFGCC, disappears.
Sarah comes into the kitchen looking like a million bucks for breakfast and I sit with her.
Goddess, Winston TLGD and Gypsy TFGCC all lay in the floor to watch Sarah eat ... waiting for her to throw them something ... which she always does ... but she's an enabler too.
Then Goddess looks at me and ... I give her more treats.
God I love this dog.
I was out of town yesterday and Sarah told me something we already knew ... Goddess knew I was coming home ... she was lethargic when I was away but woke up yesterday full vigor ... somehow knowing I'm on my way.
Goddess and I have lived through lots together ... rescue ... abandonment ... dark days ... a love story unfolding ... to a house full of love, kids, pets and happiness.
She loves the Now.
I love the Now.
I'm going to spoil her rotten until the day I die because she's been through everything with me and has earned it.
As we became us, Sarah sat with Goddess one day ... just the two of them ... and they have a talk ... Sarah asking if it's okay that we become one family ... and Goddess gives her the lick of love and permission and ... HERE WE ARE!
Happiness abounds.
I love Winston TLGD and Gypsy TFGCC too ... but I don't trust them ... they're always trying to get on Sarah's good side ... brown nosing and all.
I trust Goddess.
I cannot for the life of me imagine life without her.
I know it's going to happen ... dog years and all ... which just isn't right ... why is it a dog doesn't get to live too long but still has to die old?
But Goddess ... you can have any Goddamn thing you want whenever the Hell you want it!
I would have never survived with you ... and Sarah and I wouldn't be us without you ... and how do you say thank you for that?
I gotta go.
Love our dog.
Give her whatever the Hell she wants.
