Be the person your dog thinks you are

On evening walks in the neighborhood with my dog we often stroll past an old pickup truck that has a sticker affixed to its rear bumper. It proclaims, “Be the person your dog thinks you are.” And every time I read those words I can’t help but give myself the third degree. Am I a good person? Does my dog deserve better? Does he love me more than I love him?

Dogs have a unique way of making us feel like we’re number one. It’s in the wag of not only their tale but their entire body when you get home from work, the way they shadow our every move, and how they snuggle up beside us at bedtime. My wife and I are in agreement that we simply cannot imagine our lives without our lumbering and slobbering, 85 pound chocolate lab. Even though the breed is notoriously known for being easy to please, you know when you’ve neglected him, when he’s sad or unhappy because you’ve left him alone in the house for too long. My dog will destuff a couch pillow in seconds leaving you with nothing but the empty carcass, feathers and fabric, scattered about the living room.

If your dog has a knack for keeping you honest, then we have a few things that might keep them happy. Simply Fido organic toys are soft, chewable and ready to give your pup something other than your couch to chew on. West Paw beds are not only made from sustainable and organic materials, they might just be more comfortable than your own bed.
