I said to my wife a long time ago before she was a big dog lover that I don’t think I could ever live my life without a dog. And now I have two and she was the one who initially suggested a second one. And although we’ve sadly lost two dogs, we’ve also had two dogs simultaneously for close to 20 years now and neither of us could live without dogs now. The sad part is that we will eventually get to the age that my elderly mother has gotten to where we will have to make a plan for what to do with our dogs if we die before they do. But we will definitely make that plan when it comes time.
Really, I think the majority of my dog Charlie’s brain is taken up with, “hi! I’m Charlie! Pet me now!”
Aw I miss my dog! I used to say he’d walk into a room and think “Hi everyone! I’m a dog! Someone should play with me I think this would be good!”
Sorry your dog is no longer with you. That’s the worst thing about dogs and cats. We live longer than them.
Thank you, that’s really kind. All the more reason to enjoy that time! :)
It’s been a few years, and the way you described your dog made me smile more than anything :)
