I like me... and I like you too!

 Hi Friends! It's me, Socks. 

How is it going with you?  I've been super busy lately guarding the couch from other pups and pulling my owner down in the grass, but I am taking a minute to let you know that you are valuable. 

See, I know that, because I had to learn that I am valuable too. 

I used to feel bad when other pups sat on my couch and tried to get pets from my owner. I thought that if another dog got attention, that I was not so important anymore, and I used to bully them to get them to leave, so I could snuggle my owner all by myself. 

But, I learned something. My value does not depend on someone else's value. I am important and lovable no matter what anybody else says or does. Even if Buddy comes over and drinks from my water dish, I am still a valuable pup. Nobody can take my value away, because I was made well, to be the guardian of this couch. 

You were made well too. You are valuable. You are worthy. I like you. 

I like me... and I like you too!
