Love it or hate it Valentine’s Day has arrived, and even if there’s no other significant other to share this romance-filled day, we’ve still got our dogs and they love us no matter what.
To quote my other half, “I’m a lucky girl” but not just for the reason he thinks - that I have him for my boyfriend - but because I have my utterly adorable Basil, who stole my heart the moment I clapped eyes on him. So in the absence of the dozen red roses I knew I wouldn’t get, here’s a dozen reasons why Basil Barkarama is my furry Valentine …
- My heart flips every time I look at his handsome little face.
- He passed the ‘meet the parents’ test with flying colours.
- He farts … a lot. They stink. They’re sometimes loud. I don’t care.
- He’s hilarious. Whether farting loudly, tearing around the house at a million miles an hour or inquisitively tilting his head from side to side that boy is god damn funny!
- He’s always up for a cuddle.
- We never argue.
- I can’t stay mad at him for longer than five minutes – well five seconds if I’m being truthful.
- He doesn’t complain about helping with the housework. Mine sweeping the kitchen floor is his specialty.
- He doesn’t judge me or pass criticism. In his eyes I can do no wrong.
- He always happy to spend time with me, in fact he’s practically my shadow.
- He inspires me. He’s the inspiration for Barkarama and the muse for most of my posts.
- He’s my very own Pup Charming. I’d been hoping, waiting and dreaming about a Boston Terrier to call my own for over five years and for me, he’s just the most perfect dog ever.
