It feels so good to remember our special pets. Grateful for you, Sherry, for crafting this feature, and so well. It made me cry, but smile, too!

I think it is because we dont need to erect any defences against dogs, we know they wont hurt us as humans do, and they love us unconditionally, which humans also find difficult. I loved putting this feature together - each dog is just so wonderful and incomparable. Even having one for fourteen years, which is such a great blessing, it is never long enough.

What a wonderful feature,...Oh my goodness, Sherry! What a wonderful feature, though sad. Any of us who have loved dogs can feel the pain of losing one. I have lost two (in my adulthood) so far, and I have three now, the oldest being about 14 now. I know...well we all know...what eventually happens. I have found that the loss of my two previous dogs has been as hard as losing humans. Harder in some ways as one cannot communicate with them. I feel all of your losses deeply and your poems are all treasures.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-84617389154632625442019-02-04T18:38:47.766-05:002019-02-04T18:38:47.766-05:00Smiles........our hearts are so full of joy and pa...Smiles........our hearts are so full of joy and pain at this point, it is no wonder tears leak out at odd moments.

Years go by, and yet, our furry friends can still tug at our heart strings, almost as much as in the early days of loss.

Jennifer, Margaret, Sherry and all you dog and animal lovers know how a sweet four legged creature can touch our lives. <br />I was just with some friends who don't appreciate or understand this. I felt their negative judgment when they learned I have another dog. I feel love is never badly spent and my dogs have taught me so much about love and about myself.
