I Love you Nancy!!! YOU pegged it!!!! The other day my hubby and I were discussing dogs...and my obsession! He looked me square in the eye and said "honey...I finally get it...I understand your love affair with your furkids"! I was baffled...actually wanting to know the answer to this perplexing question myself. He said..."you feel like you have failed in so many ways with our children...that somehow you didn't do everything right...you are making up for that with the dogs! It's why you spend so much time and energy training them, feeding them the best and doing things for them...I finally understand it!" My heart sank to the floor...he pegged it too! The truth is always really painful! He doesn't feel like I failed...he thinks I was an amazing mom and that our children have/had free will. But down deep I do feel that way and I do put stuff into the dogs because they can't really make bad choices...they can't rip my heart out and stomp on it...they just love me and are thankful and responsive! They don't get angry with me because I "advise" them too much and they never act smothered by my kisses or hugs...they just want to be with me! Dogs are safe...dogs are just happiness and safe love wrapped in fur! My aren't I deep tonight??? LOL Waggin' Tails in The Dog Park, Deanna

Dogs make you feel so good because they do not judge you or care if your gray roots are showing. They love you in the most purest way of all and its not like kids as they start that way and then become teenagers. Dogs stay infants for ever and love you forever. I could not survive without my babies.
