My Dog Needs A Job
I'm not saying this because I can't support her, rather I'm saying this because she's got to be bored out of her mind. My wife and I are gone all day long and as soon as we get home she wants all of our attention. We give her attention and pet her and such but she still wants more. I can't blame her, I mean she's got nothing all day and she just wants to be part of something. We've had her for going on 7 years and she's been an indoor dog the entire time. Matter of fact she hated being outside so much that she actually (while staying at my mom's house one day)jumped through a closed window (she broke the sucker) just to get inside. So I don't feel bad about having her inside all day, although I just had the realization today that it must suck to be my dog. I used to think, man it would be awesome to be a dog. You could lay around relaxing all day, you don't have to work, you can pretty much do what ever you want. I won't even get into the whole cleaning yourself thing. But after today, I think I was totally wrong on this. She's got no interaction. Zip, zero, zilch, and I've got to change that. I'd like to get her another dog to play with but she'd rather play with a human and has kinda become quite snobbish to other dogs as she's gotten older. I took her to the dog park so she could play and she didn't want to have anything to do with the other dogs....She wanted to play with the owners of the dogs. She either needs to get a job or I have to find another one so I can afford to get her a babysitter.

Dogs are so awesome... I had a dog like that when I was in high school. He didn't much care for other dogs, and he was all alone all day while we were at school/work. Sometimes, I would feel a little sorry for him and I'd almost leave the TV on so he'd have something to look at or listen to.
Great post, BTW!
