For the DP dog lovers…

I know this is off topic, but the DP is a place where I can occasionally find some peace in releasing my thoughts.

It is with heavy heart that I write to you tonight. I just found out one of my best friends’ dog has cancer, and must be put down tomorrow. He is spending the his last moments with her, and is a wreck. This all came as a surprise to him, and I’m sure he is regretting not spending more time with his most loyal companion.

There is no more loving and faithful creature than a dog, in my opinion. They are protectors, companions, coworkers, and family members. Never judgmental. Always forgiving. Always wanting to please.

I cannot even bear the thought of the day I lose my two wonderful Labrador Retrievers. They have enriched my life so much, and I see them getting older, and know the day will come sooner than later. We have had a lot of fun together, but work and life, has kept me from hanging with them as much.

If you feel the same way I do about your dogs, be sure to spend as much time as you can, and enjoy their unconditional love. For that matter, spend time with all of your loved ones, because we never know what tomorrow brings. Enjoy the small moments in life, because it can take some nasty turns when you least expect it.

I wanted to share some stories about a dogs loyalty, with hopes that we all can learn something from it, and see how enriched our lives are in some way.

Share and Enjoy:
