It goes both ways you see.
You are a responsibility, make no mistake. You need time, maintenance and efforts.
And patience. Patience by the kilos and tons.
But you are worth it.
Afterall one doesn't keep dogs for the lack of things to do. And one definitely doesn't keep dogs for the soothing sounds of their shrieks and barks. One keeps dogs because they are fun. When they are not busy being a damn nuisance that is.
You can be a beauty too when you are not too busy being an ass. There are evenings when you make me question the wisdom of having kids to this day. And don't let me catch you again rubbing your spit on my face. Because I will do the same to you just out of spite. But that is an aside these days. I am convinced that I don't mind the work and that kids are worth the mess. Well, just about, if I am being straight.
And you (and of course my - cuter by the day - niece) played a decent part in getting me to this perspective. Don't get me wrong, you both aren't beating world records by cuteness quotient or by the virtue of being less inconvenient than a terrible broadband connection, but you are definitely giving the dogs a run. So keep it up.
Maybe I won't advise my friends to visit an orphanage when they start thinking about kids (and about various tips to keep it that way). Afterall, I miss kicking you around when you are not home these days, sometimes.
