Elliot

I love my dog. Pretty much everyone who knows me knows how much I love my dog. I just can’t think of life without him. Elliot is really my best friend and I don’t know how we grew into this special bond but having him in my life is one of my biggest blessings.

I love how Elliot snuggles with me every night and every morning. I love how he sleeps behind me as I work from home and how he sometimes just stares at me, like I’m his most favourite thing in the world. I love his wonder for the world. He is so pure - everything about him is genuine. I love his happiness for walks. I love how he communicates with me. But most of all, I love how his capable of pure unconditional love all the time. Having a dog has taught me what it means to truly love.

Elliot brings so much joy and happiness into my life every single day. I am a better person because of him. And I’m writing this whilst he is snuggled in my arms and I just love looking at him whilst he is so relaxed. Life is great with a dog as beautiful and as loyal as he is. I just am so blessed to have him.

I used to wonder why people had such deep relationships with their pets because I never understood it at all. I thought that because the pet couldn’t talk, it must be hard to form a bond. But the bond transcends language. The bond is in feeling and you both feel it. I can honestly hear what Elliot thinks sometimes and I think he knows what I think too. It’s a shared mutual understanding that is sustained without any words. I think that is the most beautiful thing ever. I am so so blessed.

I think back to the day I first met Elliot all the time. I remember his little cute face and I fell in love with just how he was. He had such a small body compared to the other pups but I was just so drawn to him. He brought out all my maternal feelings and I just wanted to hold him and give him love. Elliot was immediately so open with me, giving me his belly to rub. He would also let me pat his back and he just sat there like a very good boy. I think as much as I chose Elliot, he also chose me. He was so comfortable with me from the get go. Perhaps he also felt drawn to me. Anyway, it was meant to be because I think back to that moment again and again and want to relive it because it was the greatest moment I have known in my life.

As you can tell, I really love my dog. Haha. Follow his Instagram @elliot.thecavoodle for more 🐶🐶🐶🐶
