Pee Wee

[HairOfTheDog]

I promised myself that I would never have another dog. I did not want to go through such an ordeal again. Then, while reading our sister paper, the Daily Times on Nov. 17, I came across the popular "Pet of the Week" feature which describes pets up for adoption at the Delaware County SPCA. The article included a picture of "Pee Wee." Wow! I thought I was looking at a picture of Ink.

Never promise yourself to never have another dog... for to save yourself the pain of their death, you rob yourself of the joy of their life.

MISSING OUR DOGS

Old Men miss many dogs.
They only live a dozen years,if that,
And by the time you are sixty, there are several
The names of which evoke remembering smiles.
You see them in your mind,heads cocked and seated.
You see them by your bed, or in the rain,
Or sleeping by the fire by nights
And always dying.

They are remembered like departed children
Though they gave vastly more than ever they took,
And finally you're seeing dogs that look like them.
They pass you in the street but never turn
Although it seems they should,their faces so familiar.
Old men miss many dogs.

And from my Gun Dog book:

Regarding dogs, I like them all - pointers, setters, retrievers, spaniels... I have had good ones and bad of several kinds. Most of the bad ones were my fault and most of the good ones would have been good under any circumstances. Gene Hill

My apologies. Not to intentionally hijack your thread, but something to point out.

When clicking the link to the dog story to read, look below it for the soldiers "Final Inspection" .

You are making me cry now. I just lost my beloved dog in August and while I miss having a dog, I have only made half-hearted attempts to replace him. I am glad you found Pee Wee!

[Eaker]

Good luck with PeeWee.

The good ones cannot be replaced, but you can find other lil friends.

I know too.

Take care,
Tom Eaker

I lost my wonderful pup last June, just after he turned 17 years old. I thought I was prepared, but I fell apart.

A wonderful friend here on FR sent me a link to the Rainbow Bridge, and also sent me a link to a rescue site. I wasn't ready to act then, but several weeks ago adopted a puppy recued from a horrible puppy mill, and that magnificant little creature is the light of my life.

Congratulations on your adoption of PeeWee!

Never expect a new dog to be as same as the old dog. However, they can be just as wonderful in their own special way.

I'm happy for you. There is nothing quite as acute as losing a beloved companion. Congratulations at discovering another to stay along your side.

I have made a promise to myself as well. I have promised myself that unless I am incapacitated by old age or illness, I will ever be dogless. I won't have just one dog either, if I am able to have more I will. My dogs bring so much happiness into my life, why should I not have them, lots of them?

[NicNacPattyWac]

He's adorable and it sounds like he has a big personality in that little body. congratulations!

I understand your sorrow . . . and your joy!

The help me deal with the loss of a pet is that I would much rather out-live them than vice versa. I can't stand the thought of my dog spending the rest of his life waiting for me to come home.

What a little doll. I know how you felt. I lost my beloved Golden Retriever/Lab cross, Skippy, just months after my husband died in 2001. Skippy had been my best friend and companion (other than my husband) for 6 1/2 years. Losing him was just about the last straw. I vowed I would not get another dog. I still had my late husband's elderly sheltie who is now 17. But my kids intervened and got me a "puppy." Malamute/Siberian Husky/Lab cross. Harm has become the love of my life and a joy.

May you and Pee Wee have many happy years together.

Is this your personal dog?
