I'll comfort you. I won't tell a soul."

4. the idea is that

your dog will not be judgmental, and will love you no matter what ...

and sometimes, you need to talk to someone, and a dog won't recoil in horror if you have to unload what horrors you faced. In fact, the dog will comfort you when you are sad.

I hoped that would be gathered from the post without needing explaining ...

5. Absolutely!

The dust (or something) was filling my eyes with water, so I was too blurry to actually agree with you.....

7. wasn't sure if your original "reply" was positive or negative

so I thought I'd go with making sure my intent was clear.

Glad to see it was correctly interpreted.

8. There's nothing like your dogs greeting you home

In my house there's a definite ritual that happens every day when I come home.
