As a young girl I learned that no one loves you like your dog and each dog that enters my life carries on the legacy. Thanks for putting it into words. So very true.

When I lost my daughter I thought the world would surely end. Of course it did not and I had to go on. With the support of my loving husband and sons I also had the support of my fur babies. They can be so loving and understanding when their human parents are in physical or mental pain. They are always there with loving eyes and, yes, that smile. They know when we are in pain and they know when we are unhappy. I don’t know how they know these things but I know they do and they try so hard to make things better for us by just being there for us. We lost two of our fur babies this year. We find comfort in that they both lived long, happy lives. Our border collie was 14 and our Siamese was 15-1/2. We will forever miss them but will have great memories of our good times together. We adopted another shelter dog and she is quickly becoming an intricate part of our family. A few years ago I learned I am allergic to cat dander but there was no way I could part with Topaz. She was as much a part of my family as my children. However, we will not adopt another feline baby. Yes Beth, I totally agree with you. We need our fur babies as much as they need us.

I too found peace in the pets I care for. Several clients that knew what had happened asked if I was sure I wanted to work the weekend after his passing. YES! I need your pets more than they need me right now. Thank you for sharing!
