I love all animals have been owned by many. But I have had 3 true animal friends That owned me and I miss all three as much as I would a real person that I loved. My Horse Dixie....She was a king bred working cow horse. I She was 16 years old when I had to put her down because of Liver failure. She was 15 1/2 hands high.
My Germanshep Tara..... She was the most gentlest big dog I have ever knew. Germanshep are suspose to be nervous. Not this dog, loved kids but was very protective of me.
My Standard Poodle Bella..... The most intelligent animal I have ever been owned by. Lost her to lyphnthomic Cancer. This past July 1 year ago She was 14. That Big soft curly head and ears, listen to me without a groan,or a comment just looked at me like she knew everything I was crying, venting or just talking about.
I will have to have another when Tink the Chihuahua finally leaves us. But dont know yet which I want. I prefer Dogs, Big ones but now that I am now longer a spring chicken, it will probably be a little one.
Tink is like our baby, We treat her so.

i have also had three special 'friends' that were a major part of my family. it always hurt me that there were only two children so the pets filled in. my closest friends were fletcher,a fatty, ichabod, a sweetie, and and tenzing, my own true love. they are buried in my backyard and they still make me cry to think about them. so i understand how you feel. this will probably be my last pet because another one would likely outlive me and because i can't take care of them as well anymore. and i'll miss them all.
