Thank you, although I grieve for everyone of my furry friends I lose, there is one I will never get past, that was my Bandit. He was half coyote, half shepherd and the best friend I could ever want. He went through High School, the Air Force, two marriages, and my son's first few years with me. He told me not to get married either time but I didn't listen, and he was right, but in the second case I'm glad I didn't listen or I wouldn't have my son.
He was the most wonderful dog ever, my friend, protector, confidant, and the longest relationship I ever had.
Mozart and JoJo were the closest to that kind of relationship I got to again, but I can't be without animals around me and I know I have enough love to share with any that come my way. If only I could bond with humans the same way.
