Mema, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine the pain. These furry things enter our lives and give us love without asking for anything, but maybe a little food and water, a dry place to lay their head, and a gentle hand upon their body.

Snips, snails and puppy dog tails, that's what little boys are made of. Whoever wrote this little ditty, didn't know much about a girl and her dog. Every step of my life there has been a dog to share it. Captain walked me to school every day for 7 years. After that, he sat at the bus stop waiting for me to get off the bus. I lost him as a freshman in high school. Princess came to me during my teens. She shared the ups, downs and tears of my teenage years. Taught me that a good dog wouldn't leave, no matter how long you gave her the "Down Stay" command. Tippy came when I had graduated college. Failed a job and ended up homeless, she kept the coyotes away at night even though she was afraid of the dark. Traveled many backroads of AZ, PA, and NJ with me as I searched for who I really was. And now Spook. There are not words to describe my relationship with her. DH sees it. Mom sees it. Soulmates? Could be. I can't even think of the day that she won't be by my side. Her being there is like having air to breathe.

The person who hasn't been loved by a dog, doesn't know true love.
 
I love that story Coyote!! I love dogs too, and cats, and chickens, and the new young possum that eats off my back porch and my fish....lol!! I do spend alot on pet food and care!! I love my oldest dachshund like a child, she knows what every thing I say to her means..well it seems so anyway!! She is 8 1/2 and it will brek my heart when she dies. I lve the younger one too but not nearly in the same way, some dogs just connect with us in all the right ways. I had a poodle growing up that I was very attached too also, took along time for me to get over his passing. This is the first one since then that my heart has fallen in the floor over at first sight! Hope Spook stays around along time

I understand what all of you mean when it comes to animals. They become a part of our lives. I just lost my min pin a few weeks ago and she was my dad's dog and I took her in when he passed away. Now I have my German Shepherd left and she's already 14 years old so I know I won't have her much longer. She was my sons but he couldn't keep her so I took her until he could find a place to live that would allow animals but he committed suicide before he found a place for her. It will be a great loss when she goes. Will I get another dog? You betcha! My husband thinks I'm nuts. (he never had dogs) but I've always had one since I was about 10 years old. There's been Lassie, Peanuts, Asta, Smokey, Sarge, Mr. Do Right, Cheesai, Sebastian, Pepe, Bonnie and Jada Blue my present dog. My daughters dog just had 7 pups today and she wants me to take one but I want to wait for another dog so I can get a cat and raise them together. Jada hates cats and I just can't bring one into the house at this time.
 
Thanks Coyote for sharing that story. I haven't been able too bring myself too get another pet except my chickens and Fantails. Star would have had a ball out there with the chickens bossing them around. I used too say where's that mouse and she would look under everything for a mouse although I can't remember her ever seeing a mouse. She had a litter of puppies and I had too massage every puppy as the vet had too take them and she was knocked out cold till the next day. My friend and I lay in the floor and nursed the babies with bottles until she got able too take over. Lord I couldn't get in the floor now if I had too. We kept a white poodle out of her but she only made it 3 years before having a seziure and passed away. The party poodles and other pups that I sold died the same way including Star's momma and daddy. She is the only one that lived that long or even half that long. The vet that saw her all the time said you must really take care of her because I have never seen a toy poodle live as long as Star has. Anyway I think Spook is adorable looking.
 
I have a dog that I got when I was sick and the doctors could not tell me what was wrong he made it so I got out of bed in the mornings when I wanted to give up and gave me the strength to try one more doctor who not only told me what was wrong but gave me the meds so that I could live my life and be a mom again, and the dog is still here with me a gift from God to help me when the pain gets so bad I want to give up again it amazing how a dog licking your face makes you want to get up now I have my chickens to help also, and Buddy my dog, who thinks he is a rooster has taken to keep track of them when they are out in the yard, and helps to put them in their pen when its time, he is so funny he could not see one of the bantams (who was in the top nest box) today and he was searching the whole pen and yard for her until I took in the coop and showed him where she was then he calmed down and just listened and watched for danger it was really funny, I am thinking of getting a roo wonder if buddy would mind giving up his job to the roo. lol
