WHAT WE SNUGGLE WITH

This is kind of a quickie post. I saw this photo this morning, I have seen it before-- it is from the LOL people.
Anyway this time when I looked at it I looked at the damage, and I thought:
This dog did that with his teeth and feet. No hammers, no saws, no drills. Teeth. Feet.
Those are the same teeth we sleep next to, that take food from our hands, that hide the tongue that licks us. The same feet that trot along by our sides, muddle the blankets on the bed we just made, and track mud into our hearts.
Look at this photo.
Then look at your canine friend and remember what  he could do if he wanted to do it, and think about all the stuff he lets us get away with, the pushing and shoving and nail trims, and anals, and teasing and snuggling and sleeping with, and dog shows, and walks in the evening and early morning, and playing in the snow, and then look at the picture again.
How incredibly tolerant are dogs.
