Not our tough guy neighbor, but our bishopric neighbor
I am the only one that walks him

I am the only one who picks up after him
but do you know what I hate the most?
The fact that we are in love with him.

and why is it the last line cancels out all the rest?
That Darn Dog! Gotta love him! At least he makes life interesting.
The last line didn't cancel out the rest for me....it just confirmed again that I don't want a dog.
Does it leave a scar on children if they grow up without ever having a dog (or a pet)...especially a child that wants to be a vet.?
Maybe I'll give in one day or maybe that scar will be added to the many they undoubtly will already have... :)
I love Murphy!!

thank you for not mentioning any neighbors by name. No one will ever figure out the "bishopric neighbor".
