When we lost Boo Bear my husband said there would be no more dogs.
We have three now! LOL I think he lasted 3 months....

I was just talking with my husband in between tears, and he said, "This is what I don't like about having the animals". I was quick to tell him, but I have many, many more happy days from having them, verses what I am going through right now. I would be lost with out them. And as far as being with them as they pass, it is very difficult. But with a lot of courage, I want to be right there by their side gently rubbing their head and telling them how much they are loved, before they leave me. It is the least I can do. But oh sooo hard. You know the rain started immediately when I finished covering his grave, and I said it felt like Heaven was crying with me, as I stood there in the rain. And you know I have cried on and off all afternoon, and the rain kept falling too. It is always amazing how much our furkids become so involved on our lives. My little pug filled 16 years of our lives, going through all of the changes that life brings. But even though the dog ages, it's desire to please and love ALWAYS remains the same.
