the one where I envy my dog

Today is my dog's first birthday and I find myself envying her life. Here's why:

- she gets to lie around in the coziest spots all day
- people buy her ridiculously cute clothes
- her big decision every day is whether to play with the stuffed cookie or the one-eyed cat
- she gets special treats for being good
- she has someone to attend to her every need
- everyone wants to hug her
- no one stays mad at her for long, even if she pees on their carpet
- someone is always there to scratch her back or rub her tummy
- she always gets her way

I wouldn't mind trading places with her every now and then.
