These are my faithful friends. They never complain when it rains! The just sit patiently and wait until its over. They love you even when you don't take them for a walk in the AM but are glad when you do in the afternoon. They are grateful for their food even if it is the same thing night after night. They are content to lay at your feet until you scratch their heads. They understand every movement of you body and face. The sit quietly just to be near you. I am proud to call them my friends.
