I had a boyfriend who told me my dogs couldnt sleep with me when he came that they werent even allowed in my room and that they were just animals and could sleep at the back door or outside at night. I handed him a blanket and a pillow and told him there was a tarp outside and i hoped he found it comfortable. Dogs were here first and are staying..... did he really think l would pick him over them not in this lifetime...my babies are still with me and he is gone lol... I got the better end of this deal..

Thank you so much for sharing this... l even read it to them they are all on the bed with me while l am on the computer

I have a little chihuahua who thinks she is an 85 pound pit bull!! She rules the roost over 2 scotties and one corgi.
She's almost 5 now and I have had her since she was about 5 weeks old. I love her so much and she is my constant companion. Whatever room I am in, there she is. In fact she's in her little bed right now here in the computer room at my feet. (yes, computer ROOM. My SIL is a computer wizard and works in security for the University Hospital, and we have 7 computers in this one room...LOL) There is no more loving or loyal companion that our little 4 legged fur babies.

I agree. I don't trust people who don't like animals.

What a wonderful, beautiful, TRUE sentiment!

Totally changed the way I look at dogs, though I always knew they are thinking a lot more than you can tell.

I've heard wonderful things about that book & plan to check it out of the library next week!

The quote you have with your signature reminds me of when I was a little girl (I was younger than 7 because my Grandmother was with us at church that day), in Sunday School. I said something to my Sunday School teacher about my dog Teddy being in Heaven & she informed me that dogs didn't have souls & therefore didn't go to Heaven. I informed her that if that was the case, I wouldn't be going there either & flounced out of the classroom. I was scared my Mother was going to flip her wig since I'd been sassy to Mrs. Pate but quite the contrary... she informed her that if I wanted Teddy in Heaven, Teddy was in Heaven & there would be no further discussion of it! You go, Mom!

Oh, sweetie... I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We lost out Yankee in November & just yesterday I was crying my eyes out over it. Yes, I have my Leo now but I still miss my Yankee Pierre. I hope time brings you comfort. Are you going to get another furry child? I suggest it... IMHO.

What a lovely and admirable sentiment! I have a wonderful dog, and have had some very special cats as well. Pets are a joy. But perhaps they more easily bring out our our humanity...because humans are so much more complex, inconsistent, and generally challenging?
