    I think God gave us dogs cause we could never be as good a friend to one another as they are to us! I still feel the ache from the last two we had to put down! The pack is weaker without them but so much stronger cause we knew them!!!!

    Great words! As I am reading this, my "Gracie" - a little 10 pound Poodle that was an "abused rescue" dog, is sitting on my lap. We have had many dogs over the last 45 years and as we don't have kids - they are our "kids". Every one was special and I miss them all - but this little 10 pound "package of love" that is sitting on my lap stole my heart the minute I held her. No matter what my mood may be, she is there with love and devotion to make the day better and put a smile on my face. If we could only learn to treat others with the unquestionable love that they have for us, it would be a better world. Truly they are a gift from God . . . and for those who don't "believe" . . . and don't get your feathers all in a ruffle . . . . the love and devotion of a dog, cat, horse or whatever, to me, is surely a sign of a gift to us from a higher power.

    Thanks for posting DCP - truly enjoyed it!

    You guys are making me cry, but thank you for your words of love, truthfulness, honesty. My wife said just the other day, the only time she ever seen me cry was when our little Scooby left us.

    Good post. I have four little ones that are all terrors, and I'm still working on getting my hands on my stray that is staying 50 ft away. He'll come up unless a car gets him.

    Yes...I dont think i can ever give my dogs as much love as they give me. They are relentless in their love for us. No matter what...they stand/sit/lay by our side.

    Amen!

    As I write this my 3 yr old lays pressed against my right leg.
    He is nothing much to write about. His mother was a Chihuahua, his father a midnight wanderer with a strong dose of terrier. He weighs about 13 lbs, and I can not seem to convince him that traffic noise and people talking outside are not a threat to us.

    But, he loves the dickens out of both me and my wife. And I am a better man for having known him.

    Hi...

    We lost our male black Lab Wesson almost two years ago at age 14-1/2 years.
    He was quite possibly the best dog that ever lived.

    Five years ago, I had a nasty bout of salivary gland cancer and was in the hospital for over a week following some oral and throat surgery.

    When I came home, unable to eat or drink and living on a feeding tube for a couple of months, that dog parked himself beside my recliner and would not leave other than to eat, drink and go outside for biological reasons. His head rested on the arm of the recliner with his nose against my arm for hours at a time.

    Even after I recovered, when I came home he would lay at my feet with his head on my foot until the last day of his life.
    I am not an emotional person and I do not wear my feelings on my sleeve, so to speak, but the day he died I cried for the first time in my adult life.
    We were adopted by a couple of litter mate Labradors puppies a couple of weeks after he died...a house without a dog doesn't seem like a home to me.

    The more people I know, the better I like my dog.

    Wesson's ashes along with those of his litter mate, Smith, are resting here in the den. He wouldn't let me out of his sight and I'm not letting him out of mine.

    I was talking to a customer of mine earlier today about how I haven't owned another dog for ten years since our Maxx died. It was simply such a painful heartbreak, I couldn't take another like it.

    We we have two cats now and likely won't have another dog (for selfish reasons of painful heartbreak) for some time.

    God bless our dogs, eh?
