Very rough weekend

Darn Computer

I think I'm allergic to my work computer, I'm getting all stuffy and my eyes are watering...

Very sorry to the both of you

I know very well myself what it feels like. As time goes by the pain eases. I really don't think it completely goes away. Now I remember all the good things and it makes me smile and cry, instead of my heart hurting. Trust me, their still there watching over you!

A Dog's Prayer

This was sent to me over the loss of my beloved Beijing:

Treat Me Kind-A Dog's Prayer

My beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than this loving heart of mine. Do not break my spirit with a stick, for I should lick your hand between blows. Your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do. Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footsteps fall upon my waiting ears. When it is cold and wet, please do take me inside, for I am a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements, and I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. Though you had no home, I would prefer to follow you through ice and snow, rather than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in the land. Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing, and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger. And, master, when I am very old, if the Great Master sees fit to deprive me of my health and sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather, take my trusting life gently, and I shall leave you, knowing with the last breath I draw, my fate was always safest in your hands. Amen!

Thank you Beijing!
Rest in Peace!

Love

Tomturbo made a great point-the reason we become so attached to our dogs is that they love unconditionally.The loss of one is very deep-and anyone who does not feel that does not have much heart or soul.No matter how lousy the day one is cheered up arriving home to a dog so glad to see you.If we could only find humans to love us this much...
