The Heartache Of Having A Dog




When we acquire a puppy, the one heartache we take on is the short longevity of the dog. We know - in our minds - that one day our hearts will be broken.

Always we remember our "best friends" as youngsters - vying for attention, trying so hard to learn and be good.

For unlike most humans, a dog asks very little of us. He needs water and food. He wants to be your friend and he strives to please you. When he makes a mistake, he is always sorry.

He loves to have his picture taken; he loves company; he loves romps in the garden; and most of all, he seeks your approval. All of this is hard to get in another human, although some of us have been luckier than others!

Sending out prayers and blessings to all whose dogs are sick and especially to those whose dogs have died.

Each of our dogs is different and we remember them all for their own special traits. Hopefully, we do have another dog or find another dog because people who love dogs need a dog of their own to love.

Breeds shown are: Boxer, Shih Tzu, Dalmation
