Le sigh

Times like these, I really wish I had a dog, a real best friend like dog. I would need a dog unlike the one we had when I was a kid... She was a great dog in many ways, but callous. She had no tolerance for my tears. If I ever wanted her to get off my bed or leave the room I had only to fake a few sobs and she was gone. That is not the kind of dog I need. I need the other kind. I envy people their dogs.
