Today, Koda went back home to his family who returned from their holiday. After two weeks of his constant presence, the house felt empty without him. Yes, it still smelled like dog and his black fur is everywhere. But we really missed him.
He was constantly right next to you, generally in your path, tripping you always trying to catch your eye in the hopes that he might get a belly rub or any morsel of affection you could spare. And when you did, because it’s impossible to ignore those eyes, he returned the affection tenfold. No matter what. Bad day? No biggie. Stressed? Who cares! Belly rub followed by snuggles solved all. Dogs love you unconditionally and shamelessly. There’s no guessing or angles with a dog; there’s just adoration and affection.
Of course, now our kids desperately want a dog of our own. The jury is still out as to whether it’s a good idea to be full time dog owners at this stage, but for the time being, having a dog in our lives for even a little while has made us all happier and somehow closer. Thank you Koda!
