Having a pet is genuinely nice. In the past we have had fish and Guinea pigs as well as dogs. To be perfectly honest, we have always had a dog in our lives.
Our latest dog we have had as a family member for about a year and a half. We named her Maki once we adopted her. As goofy as she is, and as crazy as she gets around other dogs, we love her immensely.
She is our little “Therapy” dog. She makes each of us feel happy when we need it most. If you are upset, she knows instinctively and comes to you for rubs and kisses. Maki has been specifically good for our middle teenager’s mental health. That’s the room she sleeps in six nights a week. The other night is with our youngest.
As much as I push Maki away sometimes (dog breath galore!) I do enjoy having her nearby. She comes to snuggle me when I want to nap and really invades my space when she wants to. Maki is a happy dog and she makes us happy as well.
Making It Up As I Go 
Your Maki is beautiful and so in tune to your family’s smell, body language and much more. That’s how she know where to go. Our Abby, a Beagle/Bulldog mix, does the same. Never trained her to do that, but she does it anyway. Lucky us to have such amazing therapy dogs, don’t you think?

I feel that dogs are an essential part of the family. They are always there to listen and love.
