Tonight, I took my dog for a walk. One of my usual activities for a nice summer Sunday night...and everybody else who owns a dog so of course my dog goes crazy. But every time we saw another dog, I made sure to hold her leash tighter so she wouldn't go near them. And then I got to thinking...how mean is that? I mean how would I like it if every time I tried to make a new friend, someone was holding me back. Right now, and basically since I was the age of 8, my friends have been the biggest influence of my life. It's my friends I run to when my family is bugging me, when something fantastic happens, when something sad happens, or when I just need someone to talk to. I think of everytime I wanted to hang out with my friends but couldn't because my mom wouldn't let me or I didn't have gas, etc. and how upset I get. Life is hard enough that you just need your friends with you.
So next time, I'll let my dog sniff the other dogs butt because you know what? Everyone needs a friend :)
