He makes me smile everyday.  In the mornings he lies down by my knees while I eat, or nudges right next to me when he wants to be petted.  When I&#8217;m home from work he jumps on the couch ready for me to put the leash on him so I can take him out.  He&#8217;ll lie on his back so I can scratch his belly, and I swear he does it on purpose because he knows he looks adorable doing it.  And he sleeps curled up against my back in bed.  He won that battle.  I tried.<\/p>\n<p>My dog is smart.  When I&#8217;m mad at him he howls.  It&#8217;s a cute baby howl.  It&#8217;s practically impossible not too laugh.  He sounds like I&#8217;m killing him, and I haven&#8217;t even touched him!  Seriously, he&#8217;s so melodramatic! I wonder where he gets that from&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s impossible to discipline him.  He does know that I&#8217;m the alpha, but barely.  When I&#8217;m training him&#8230; let&#8217;s not mention the training.  The clicker is a godsend though.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the thing.  My dog is like my kid.  I adore him and worry about him.  I never would have thought like this a year ago.  I&#8217;ve joined &#8216;that&#8217; club.  Awesome!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know what I would do without my dog, Ravi. He makes me smile everyday.
