Hmm, we always talk about what a great dog we have – but she does ALL of those imperfect things!! I guess that’s what happens when you love a dog 😉 It’s all of their imperfections that make them so special!!

Thanks to all of the imperfect dogs who’ve been a part of my life, and being an example of love and forgiveness!

Oh, the hair colouring incident is so funny, sorry! It reminds me of when Beryl first got happy tail and I had absolutely no idea where the blood splats were coming from. I keep finding ones I’ve missed. You’ve done better than me:)

I think the perfect person and the perfect dog would be boring. I bet neither of them would want to live with each other!

In reply to Vicky. And aren't you glad you don't have that worry?

In reply to Edie. If you're already made it into a zen-like state with only your first dog, you must be a master. Just wait until you have a few more dogs (and imperfections) in your life. You'll be a bodhisattva in no time.

Oh, how boring pet ownership would be if pets were perfect. Fortunately, I need never worry about that with my brood 🙂

Nice post! I look at Frankie’s imperfections as a test that I sometimes fail — but never in a way that is detrimental to his health, only mine, when my blood pressure rises. And I feel so proud of myself when I get into a zen like state and pass — for example, when, instead of stomping around the house looking for something, I calm down and slow down because Frankie is skittering around my heels and I really feel bad when I accidentally step on him.

In reply to didiwright. I think if imperfect people matched up with perfect dogs, the world would implode. So it's a good thing we love imperfect dogs.

In reply to 24 Paws of Love. One of the reasons I feel so mad at myself is because I hate coloring my hair. I only do it because I started turning gray at 18 years old (right around the time I met my (now) husband, hmmmmm) and I feel too young to be completely gray. Are you telling me that if I let myself go gray Honey won't recognize me any more?:)

In reply to Just Ramblin'. You got that right. Dogs are amazingly tolerating and forgiving creatures.
