Old Dogs Do Not Die
We have a secret, you and I,
That no one else shall know,
For who but I can see you lie
Each night in the fireglow?
And who but I can reach my hand
Before we go to bed,
And feel the living warmth of you
And touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths,
And see you ahead of me,
Your small form racing with the wind,
So young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim
In every brook I pass...
And when I call, no one but I
Can see the bending grass...
--Author Unknown
When the time comes, you will get another.

Flyer ... when our kiddos were young we always had dogs and I thought of them as just another
face to feed ... or so I
thought ... until our family dog had to be put down just before Christmas last year.
My youngest was 19 at the time and I could not believe how much I felt the loss. To cut to the chase ... my family organized and brought to me a St. Bernard ... all the way from So. Dakota.... for Christmas.
He arrived shortly after the 25th ... and was the size of a large cocker spaniel. Very shy ...
He turned a year in October ... and weighs in at 237 pounds.... though he is expected to finally reach over 250.
The stories I could tell of this last year!!! From not being able to get him down the front stairs ... he stayed up there for 14 hours ... afraid to tumble down the stairs ... which he eventually did .. a canine avalanche ... LOL! ... to his now riding in my truck with me ... straight forward ... just like a human ... though he has to bend his head to see out of the window ...
He is my very best friend ... I take him everywhere I go ... most of the shopkeepers I give my business to know him ... so in he goes ... as I shop.
He brings out the very best in people, he does ... you can not help but love a St. Bernard ... though his back reaches higher than my waist ... he listens to every word I say and just generally brings joy wherever he goes. *grin*

I had an Annabelle too, for 8 wonderful years. She was the best dog. Half sky terrier and half redbone hound. Looked a lot like a rat terrier. Had to have her put down in 1978 (cancer). Have not had another dog since but now I am ready for another (Coconut) the Bichon I want for Christmas.

HOW MANY DOGS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB?
Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?
Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.
Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
Rottweiler: Make me.
Lab: Oh, me, me!!!! Pleeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I?
Malamute: Let the Border Collie do it. You can feed me while he's busy.
Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.
Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.
Hungarian puli: Not me. Look what happened to my hair the last time I tried.
Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? You can't tell I peed on the carpet in the dark.
Doberman Pinscher: While it's dark, I'm going to sleep on the couch.
Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark......
Mastiff: Mastiffs are NOT afraid of the dark.
Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.
Irish Wolfhound: Can somebody else do it? I've got this hangover.....
Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there....
Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?
Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle....
Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb?
Hound Dog: ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz
Cat: Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So the question is: how long will it be before I can expect light?

Only $1100? I'm already over $6000 this year for my dear 17 1/2 year old kitty Oliver (who I adopted from a shelter 2 1/2 years ago). And that's not counting his methimazole! And the vets still don't know what's wrong with him. They thought they'd ruled out everything except a brain tumor, but he's 1000% better than when he was first taken ill in July (they figured he have to be put to sleep within a few days), and the neurologist doesn't think an untreated brain tumor could have produced the original symptoms followed by a significant recovery, so we're not going to take the risk of anesthesia necessary for a brain scan (the expense would not be a consideration). I'd thought of doing the radioiodine therapy, but at this point I wouldn't want to leave him in the clinic for the 2 weeks necessary for getting his Geiger count down, and besides he's such a VERY good boy about taking his pills that I'd really miss the twice daily routine. He just lets me open his mouth and drop it down, and it's so nice to be reminded of the trust he's developed since I fetched this terrified little fellow out of the SPCA.

Thank you through my tears for that wonderful, wonderful poem that so exactly reflects my belief and experience. Today I put my hand down and stroked his incredibly soft head. I'm printing this to keep in a prominent place. Again, Thank You.

To: sinkspur
That's OK, my last dog a terrier mutt was in puppyhood for 5 years. I hadn't heard Bichon's had a chewing problem. Are you planning to breed yours??
To: damnlimey
Thanks for making this memorial possible. And thanks to everyone who offered condolences.
To: EnnisExile
I'm so sorry. You will be in my prayers. I understand your loss as I recently experienced a similar unexpected loss of my beloved dog.
You have freepmail.
