In Grandpa's Arms
There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.
~Ben Williams~
We were blessed two years ago to bring home our little girl Winnie.
She was born on May 24, 2011 one of 6.
She has 2 brothers and three sisters.
Her parents are both award winning hunting dogs.
She is unique not just because of her fur color but also her shortened tail.
People seem to think it's okay to make comments to me that she is just a dog.
But that may be all she is to you because you don't truly know me.
Winnie joined our little family 5 months after I lost my job,
3 months after our wedding
and at the 12 month mark of trying to get pregnant.
Notice it's two years later and still no job and still no baby.
I try not to let people know how I'm really feeling.
Who wants to hear someone cry because they feel like a failure?
But Winnie is there and can't talk back.
She lays with me when I'm depressed
She gives me kisses when I cry
She still loves me after my medication induced mood swings
And doesn't tell me what she thinks I'm doing wrong
So until you take the time out of your life to actually care how I am
Please except I love my dog like you love your children.
Happy Birthday Baby Girl!
