A couple of weekends ago I was talking to a man that really wanted a dog but said he would never get one. I asked why and he said because they die and break your heart. I told him it broke my heart that he wasn't able to have all the joy that I have gotten from my pets. I have a Lab/Golden Ret cross and every morning that she wakes up with me is another treasured day. She will be 15 in Feb. I know her time could come any day, and I know I'm not ready to let her go, but I hope I have the strength to be with her and see her tail wag as she sees her way to the Rainbow Bridge.
She will be able to come back long enough to leave a tuft of hair, move a favorite toy or I might hear her bark in my mind, just to let me know she made a safe journey.
