I love being able to take care of my dog.
Like knowing when she's pestering me because she wants food, or when she gives a little whine and she's pacing because her water dish is empty, or how she paws at her crate if we've locked her up and forgotten to let her make one last visit to the backyard first.
It makes me feel like I'm good at being that nurturing mother-like person. It's at least good practice.
And it's kinda nice because she's not nearly as demanding as a child would be. :P
Plus when I feed her or give her water, she usually comes back to me and gives some sort of thanks, usually in the form of a lick to the arm.
