Arnie, Arnie

At a time in my life when I wasn't sure what I was going to do, my sister-in-law mentioned that I needed a dog.  My brother went to the pound with me and we picked out a puppy that I adopted.  As soon as I got him, we drove to New Jersey.  I hadn't had a pet since I was a small child and had no idea what I was embarking on.  It was one of the best decisions that I made at that time in my life.  My dog, Arnie, needed me and I needed to be needed.  My outlook on life changed.  I started exercising since I needed to walk the dog.  Things in my life seemed to change overnight when I brought home my puppy.  Arnie has been with me through quite a few changes in my life and has been right there every day, loving me just for being there.

Yes, I'm very thankful for Arnie.  He is a wonderful dog!
