The last few days I have been rather grumpy. I am the type of guy that when I am grumpy, all I want, is to be left alone to think, and when I am ready I will bounce back.
However, this does not go down too well with Claudia, my girlfriend. She does not quite understand this and usually ends up making both of us feel worse.
But then when I came home, my mood immediately got better. Noisette, our Staffie, greeted me with her usual excitement. Unlike a certain woman (I don’t want to generalise in case I offend some poor woman out there) she doesn’t care whether I am grumpy or happy, she will give me the same joyful greeting irrespective.
Dogs have that special ability to understand their owner, and not hold against him his state of mind. Maybe this is why man and dog has had such a close bond through the millenia. It is as though we are perfectly suited for each other. A symbiotic relationship like none other.
