Never knew how much a dog could work her way into my heart!

I am sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences. I have a 2.5 year old dog and he is certainly the best companion to have. Just well natured. It breaks my heart when I hear of someone losing their beloved pet.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It really breaks my heart too. This is why i've been fighting the urge to get another dog. I don't know if i can deal with the pain. On the other hand, there are so many pitiful dogs in the pound that need rescuing

MONGREL

by Robert Service

A puppy dog without a collar

Annexed me on my evening walk;

His coat suggested fleas and squalor,

His tail had never known a dock.

So humble, trusting, wistful was he,

I gave his head a cautious pat,

Then I regretted it because he

Accompanied me to my door-mat.

And there with morning milk I found him,

Where he had slumbered all the night;

I could not with displeasure hound him,

So wonderful was his delight.

And so with him I shared my porridge­

Oh! How voraciously he ate!

And then I had the woeful courage

To thrust him through the garden gate.

But there all morning long he waited;

I had to sneak out by the back.

To hurt his feelings how I hated,

Yet somehow he got on my track.

For down the road he sudden saw me

And though in trees I tried to hide,

How pantingly he sought to paw me,

And yelped with rapture by my side.

Poor dirty dog! I should have coshed him,

But after all 'twas not his fault

And so I took him home and washed him,

-I'm that soft-hearted kind of dolt.

But then he looked so sadly thinner,

Though speckless clean and airy bright,

I had to buck him up with dinner

And keep him for another night.

And now he is a household fixture

And never wants to leave my side;

A doggy dog, a mongrel mixture,

I couldn't lose him if I tried.

His tail undocked is one wild wiggle,

His heaven is my happy nod;

His life is one ecstatic wriggle,

And I'm his God.

What a sweet faced dog. Your heart is broken I'm sure . She looks like

A loving companion and her memory is cherished. Our dogs are our

solace and truly our best friends. As a fellow dog lover, and having

The love of 3 pooches, Lello , Okie, and Tofu, keep my days worthwhile .

I've been really sick and they know it. Why they can't live longer is one of

life's ironies. My deepest condolences for you loss.

Here is Okie behaving like.....a dog.. Wolves are

illegal to own/breed in Nevada. My Sons friend from school mated them with Siberian huskies. Very sweet disposition.

It is a sad time indeed.

 

I lost two of my long-time pets last year.

 

One to a paralysis tick and the other to a brown snake.

 

They say time heals all wounds..............I still hurt.

 

And miss them like hell.
