I wonder if it hurts to be a dog with so much love to give

24/7, and people who are only able to accept it from 1/2 to 1/4 to 1/8 of the time that the dog is there and wanting to give it.

Sometimes, we feel this same way, don't we?

Do you, ever?

1. Uggh,
don't remind me, I am constantly guilting myself out about this, one of my dogs has serious anxiety problems and I know she is missing me right now....

4. Aww, it's okay

I know that your dog knows you care! :hi:

I just had this thought, all of a sudden, that I have the spirit of a dog, at this time in my life...

Why isn't love just good all the time, why does it have to hurt if we don't use it??

Do puppies feel that same heartache, only multiplied, because their lives are so simple?

:shrug:

16. Well, I'm home now and she is content at my feet
But, to answer your question, I don't think the heartache is the same... they love intensely, but selflessly... I don't think my dog was thinking 'poor me' while I was gone, but 'where is he?'...

2. I always used to feel guilty
When I saw my dog and was to tired to play with him.

12. Aw, it's appreciated, friend...

This is just a whiny, "I'm lonely" thread, disguised as philosophical, anyway... :)

:hug:

Hope you feel better, soon!

:hug:

From one puppy-dog to another, here's a big wet smooch on the cheek!

I'm not afraid of germs :)

15. Right back at you, but clean where i kissed with Lysol!

I don't want to get you sick.

Even a good macrobiotic diet won't deter my germs.
