MARRIED WITH DOGS
Today was our 33rd wedding anniversary. Of those 33 years, 31 have been spent with an assortment of beloved dogs. As with human children, our six basset kids with four legs and very long ears have given us a lot of joy and pain over the years, but unlike two-legged offspring, we've never had to put any of them through college or into rehab (well, we've had an obedience school dropout or two). The best part is that they love us unconditionally, and that's something that's doggone hard to get, even in the best marriages. So, happy anniversary to us and to anyone else who is celebrating an anniversary today, especially those who are married, with dogs.
