“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
― Bob Marley

“But grieving with memories is better than nothing without them and the only thing worse than not being alive, is not having anything to remember.”
― L.B. Johnson, The Book of Barkley: Love and Life Through the Eyes of a Labrador Retriever

“I do not love very often, but I love hard, and this dog had got more than a bit of my heart.”
― L.B. Johnson, The Book of Barkley: Love and Life Through the Eyes of a Labrador Retriever

“Dogs are an expense, they are worry, and time, and hair, and walks in the rain and the cold. They are also part of the everyday fabric of our lives, to the point that when they leave us, we feel the chill.”
― L.B. Johnson, The Book of Barkley: Love and Life Through the Eyes of a Labrador Retriever
