My doggie crew and I go for a walk in the woods/forest every morning. To see my doggies, click on my name.

Opinion: We Didn’t Domesticate Dogs. They Domesticated Us.

Who made the first moves toward friendship, humans or dogs?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Dogs are great, period.

I have never known an even halfway tolerable human being who wasn't also a "dog person." This has proved itself, time and time again throughout the many long years of my life, as the single most accurate and unfailing barometer of another person's essential soundness and decency possible, end of sentence, end of paragraph.

Any man or woman who doesn't love dogs is no friend of mind, nor ever will be.

I just had to bury my Border Collie...named Jet. He died today.......

[Fantasywriter]

Prayers. It’s not easy.

[blam]

Excellent.

Thanks.

[Osage Orange]

It's never easy....

He was a prince of a dog....very sweet, but sort of aloof.

He was different.

[Menehune56]

So sorry to hear that my FRiend.

“Another way to spell comfort: golden retriever.”

Throughout my 60+ years I have had or been around many dogs but nothing compares to our Golden Retriever.

I don’t know how there can be so much love in one being.

When she is gone there will be another Golden in our lives.

Sorry. Had a BC for 12 yrs. very tough when it’s time to part. Always will be part of the family. Remember the good times

[Fantasywriter]

Border collies tend to be amazing. More smarts than the average dog. I wouldn’t have guessed aloof, but as you say, he was his own guy, unique.

It just takes time...sometimes, a lot of it.

[mplsconservative]

So sorry to hear that. It’s so hard to lose a good friend. My condolences as a person that has lost quite a few in 56 years. It’s awful.

[SE Mom]

Oh dear, I’m so sorry. My heart goes out to you...I’ve done it myself more than once and it’s a sorrow like no other.

My prayers for your comfort and peace...

Godspeed, dear Jet.

"I just had to bury my Border Collie...named Jet. He died today......."

I am so sorry.

I think it was Will Rogers who said, "if dogs don't go to heaven, then I want to go where the dogs go."

So very sorry for your loss.
