1. sometimes you'll feel like chewing up the carpet. take some midol; i'll just deal with it. things will be better in a few days and there's no point in letting it bother me now.
2. any healthy relationship requires exercise. if i don't take you out and let you chase a frisbee at least once a day you start pacing around the house, whining, and you won't stop harassing me until we go somewhere. i can't afford arby's every date, sometimes you'll have to settle for krystal.
3. i can recognize subtle hints. i used to not catch the looks and not-so-blatant suggestions, but by golly, now i can! i know exactly what facial expression says "i really need to go outside and poop now."
4. teaching you to walk on a leash takes time. i'll be patient. you have to learn for yourself to not pull against the choke collar.
5. commitment is a lot of work. it requires a lot of quality time, praise, plenty of shoulder rubs, and the other little things like flea medicine. but in the end all the sacrifices are worth it. it's a lot easier to prevent the fleas than to get rid of them once they're in my sheets.
