Before Tommy walked into my life, I was not prepared for the changes that he brought into my life. Prior to Tommy, I never owned a pet before and upon his arrival, my world changed 180 degrees.
Tommy is a German Shephard, who is largely built with a heart of gold.
Extremely fond of boiled eggs and chicken, my furry friend is a foodie at core and lights up at the simple prospect or idea of food. Eating his favourite meals makes him the happiest dog in the world as it becomes increasingly evident through his interactions with everyone. When you bring a dog at home, you life becomes manageably sized in the best way possible. You learn to care about another being with your whole heart, make room for another creature, and meet some of the most exciting and loving moments of your life. This is what it feels like to have Tommy in our lives. Our home feels like home and hearts feel fuller.
Tommy is closest to my father but that does not stop him from being my best friend. I am talkative in nature and he loves to listen to me for hours to bend. He is an excellent listener, who patiently gives me his full attention as I ramble on for hours and hours. Over the years, I have come to establish a unique bond with Tommy that makes me excited to come back to home after a long day and spend time with him. Along with being the best addition to the family, he has a soft world of him own, where he loves to play fetch with a ball. He has broken several toys, feels afraid of crackers, and is the friendliest furry creature to be around. He extends his warm personality to anyone and everyone, making a new fan everytime.
It would be next to impossible to imagine my life without my best friend. Everyday, I am filled with gratitude that I get to spend a lot of time with him. He has taught me the true value of being present and cherishing your loved ones by spending quality time with them. I am the luckiest girl to have Tommy in my life.
