Do we melt?

I worry as I begin this simple blog that I may offend a few of the sensitive as I broach this subject. My hope is that a few will smile and enjoy the truth and humor of it.

Have you ever noticed that when you reach for your dog it's there! Every dog loves to be scratched behind the ear or on its chest or belly. If you start rubbing our dogs belly she will simply lay there forever until you stop. I suppose there are a few dogs who do not like to be pet, but I am going to generalize that dogs never regect attention.

Dogs never have headaches, or are to tired. They never remind you of all the bad things you have recently done to them that now requires them to reject you. Dogs never tell you you smell, or stiffen as if you disgust them. They just melt under your hand. Infact when you stop a dog will nose your hand so you continue to pet them. When they do that, you have to smile because you can tell in that simple movement that they love you and want you.

Ours husbands need to know this as well. Yes that we love them, but also that we want them. Are we rejecting or using it a a control tool? Are we stiffening or just plain to busy, OR do we, when they reach for us,MELT!
