Ahhh don’t cry. I know that feeling though. My cattle dog, Mollie is my heart dog. If I were to put antlers on her right now, she would give me a look that says, “really human of mine, really?” I adopted her in 2007 and she’s been my loyal companion and the best dog I’ve ever had. I recently adopted a coonhound, knowing that her time is coming (she’s 13-14ish) and that young boy (he’s 2 1/2) is keeping her on her toes. I won’t be able to bear her loss, but it will be “easier” with this handful of coonhound who makes me laugh every day.
I have a dog that is bred for cattle and chasing hogs. He’s a Blue Lacy Hound. He is the sweetest dog and the heart of our home. He’s lucky he just gets to go with me everywhere and sleep wherever he wants instead of having to chase down those mean ole hogs!
