Oh my gosh...I just read this while at work and sobbed like the giant emotional baby that I am. Having grown up with dogs all of my life, I have experienced this several times when our dogs got old and some that didn't live as long as they should have and all left us for the better place, the moon. It's like losing a part of your soul and it hurts and another dog can help but never replace the one you just lost. I dread this day when my baby girl who's currently six and has been my constant and my unconditional love and (silent) support thru some tough times, has to leave me. I know it's a part of life but she's like my shadow, my sidekick and I laughingly say she's got more miles on her than my car because she pretty much travels with me everywhere. She likes to be with me just as much as I with her. I've had some close calls with her that have made me question how much longer I have left with her but then I realized I can't do that to myself. So we live and love each day and don't worry about anything else. The day that dreadful day comes though, I don't know what I'm going to do. I think I'd die with her. If I make it past that day, I'll be surprised. It'd be best to have my # on speed dial that day to check on me. Oh can't even type this without tearing up but I smile knowing when I to home my girl will be waiting, her lips stuck to her teeth smiling, "talking" about her day and showering me with her affection. Life is good!

:( Thanks for that. As if the bags under my eyes weren't dark enough. ;)
Now, can you see why I can't just get rid of MY "Ruphous" and you can not say you don't have a little bond with Bowdy. :)
-and... I haven't forgotten and I won't. I am sorry, but I need something.
:)
Wow! You like to make us cry? Oh that was heartbreaking. Thanks KG for giving me a different way to look at it though.
