A puppy stands guard

Everything okay, Dad?

We often ask ourselves why we have a dog. We also often ask ourselves why we got ANOTHER dog after losing our previous pup.

There's no real answer to either of these related questions, because getting a dog has little to do with getting answers to questions. Or being logical.

But when the world spins out of control and a little being with limited language skills, no off-button, non-opposable digits, and a nasty habit of chewing on furniture decides you need an extra cuddle, you quickly realize why. Dog people understand what this feels like.

Deep inside her Miniature Schnauzer psyche, she knows her humans need that little extra. She may not understand the various details, the worry in her people's voices, the phone calls at all hours of the day and night, the strange travel schedules. But she sure has the man's-best-friend thing nailed down.

That face is a lovely bonus. She's lucky she's so cute. We're lucky we have her to lean on.
