That's what I feel every single time I look at my dog, Pepper. She is simply the cutest, sweetest, fluffiest, scruffiest thing I have ever seen. The joy she brings my fiance and myself is immeasurable. We can't believe how lucky we are.
Pepper is an amazing animal. She's very easy and low maintenance. She is kind, gentle and snuggly but she is not overly needy and can amuse herself for hours, just chewing on a bone. She's very smart but doesn't try to manipulate us or get into trouble. Her personality is so rich and complex and we are endlessly amused by her antics. She loves walks and playful scampering around the park or beach, but she doesn't tear apart the house if we can't squeeze a proper walk in on a freezing or rainy day. She goes with the flow and accepts what is. She is a little Buddha.
Her favorite snoozing spot, one of the cushions on our sofa, has now been reshaped to fit her perfectly. She has owners who lavish her with love, affection, wonderful walks, delicious, healthy meals and all of her grooming and medical needs. I can't get over that this little angle once lived on the streets, severely underweight and ridden with every parasite known to dog. Then she was in a shelter cage for months on end and only after we adopted her did we realize she must have been extremely itchy that entire time since she had been fed food that it turns out, she has an allergy to!
I think she must know how bad she had it and how lucky she is now because she is truly the perfect little companion.
