We all show our affection in different ways.
1
When they leave you at least six inches of space to sleep on
2
When they do their coolest trick in front of your friends instead of pretending like they don't know it
3
When they don't rip your arm off trying to meet other dogs on a walk
4
When they don't bark at every single person that passes by your house
5
When they don't make you feel like a terrible person for not sharing your food
6
When they just cry at the door instead of scratching it to splinters
7
When they wait for you to wipe their paws before tracking mud all over the house
8
When they WANT to eat the food on the counter, but choose not to
9
When they bark at nothing at 2 p.m. rather than 2 a.m.
10
When they actually make a decision about going out or in and stick with it
11
When they only eat the non-toxic things they find in the garbage
12
When they lick their butt AFTER licking your face
13
When they shake themselves off too far away to drench you
14
When they bring back the thing you just threw for them instead of leaving it on the other side of the yard
15
When they act like getting their nails clipped isn't a form of medieval torture
16
When they stay in one place while in the car
17
When they pee on the dog-loving neighbor's lawn instead of the grumpy neighbor's mailbox
18
When they tear up one of their toys instead of the whole couch
19
When they opt to roll in the mud instead of in animal poo
20
When you look at each other and know that no matter what, you two will always be best friends
21
When they let you sleep in on your day off
