How does this photo represent the theme – Life is Better Together?
Before Gunner came along me and my girlfriend usually just laid around the house and watched tv when we were both off work. Now we are always outside playing with his cute butt. He has brought us closer together and has made us a more happy and active couple. He sleeps in the bed with us every night. Right between the two of us. Most dogs sleep on the foot of the bed but gunner has his own pillow! He wakes us up every morning by licking our faces and jumping all over us. It's just like having a kid! He gets so excited to see us when we come home from work and wants to play until two in the morning. When he was 9 weeks old he was already potty trained and knew how to sit. It took a few more weeks to get shake, stay and lay down. Every time I fix him a bowl of food he's trying to shake my hand! Although he rides with us in the car when were off. Every day we leave for work or go get groceries I just wish that people loved dogs as much as us and would allow them to come with us because it breaks our heart having to leave him at home. My girlfriend has never even owned a dog but you can't tell it now because her and Gunner love each other! Gunner is seriously the best thing that has ever happened to us!!
