Some days I don't think I will ever stop grieving. [View all]

I still miss every animal that has been in my life.

We lost Samson in February. He was my best boy. Sam's back legs were paralyzed so we modified a wheel chair so he could still go on walks and we had a harness for him to help him around the house. We walked every day at least twice and he had a fan club. Just today a woman came out and told me how much she missed seeing us.

I started decorating the house. At our house we have the Santa Claus dog, the Easter dog and whatever dog strikes my fancy. I pulled out Sam's stocking and cried again.

I think humans are lucky in that we have the ability to love many fur babies all through our lives. My husband and I are talking about getting another rescue after the holidays. We still have Ranger and Sweetie but they are getting older and I think maybe some young blood may be a good thing.

This is one of my favorite groups to visit. Most days my fingers will not allow me to type much but it always brightens my day to see all of the love in here.
