It All Makes Sense To Me Now

Me: "I have never seen another dog Azuki's size with so much energy. Why did I end up with such a crazy dog?"

My mother: "Because her mom [that would be me!] is crazy. Poor Matt! He has to deal with two crazy girls."

Me: "........"

Azuki and I may be both a little crazy in the head, but we are also both crazy about our Shujin*.

To Azuki's pa: Despite everything, these three years are BY FAR the most fulfilling, happy times of my life. Happy Anniversary!

*Shujin, in Japanese, means "Master". It is the word for a dog owner and dog, but also describes the relationship between husband and wife. Matt loves that word.
