Vmarie, You are dogone right with what you wrote. I have a dog and he is my everything. You will never know what a dog means to you until you have one. I was talked into mine. I didn't want a dog but was told it would keep me company. After a NO, NO, NO, I finally consented and it was one of the best moves I've ever done. This little guy is now 8 years old. He weighs 20 lb. He is the best little guy. He's by my side constantly. I can't leave the room without him going with me. I could go on and on but to you who don't want a dog because of the work etc. They are worth every bit of it.
Glad to hear you are happy with your doggie. I know how important a dog was for my aunt--especially after a really nasty divorce. She's dead now but she was a real positive life force in my life. Her dying was such a shock because she was one of those people who managed to be always upbeat.

Amen to the "worth every bit of it".

I couldn't imagine my life without a dog or two - and cats. When I had my boarding kennels, I remember one customer telling me that it was her dog who got her through the death of her husband.

If we had a big farm house with a few acres I might still enjoy the animals but we have a smal house on a small plot and with my husband still working, just keeping up with things for him and my son and his daughter takes all my energy. I used to love animals but the last year or two of nursing my two cats into the grave kind of spoiled things in that department. I still love seeing pets as long as they are some body else's.
A little slow today but that's the least of my problems. Off to San Francisco again. This time to see a neurosurgeon for a second opinion about this little tumor I have at the base of my inner ear. Whatever happens today will help me decide whether to have surgery right away or wait a while. Prayers please, that I hear all the important things he says and then to make a wise decision.
God bless
God bless you all today and every day.
