Jack – a time to remember

Tonight my new Blogging friend danLrene – Work the Dream is going through a very sad time,  her faithful furry friend Jack is close to dying but what encouraged me was that danLrene although very sad  is  remembering all the good times she has had with Jack. I promised danLrene earlier in the day to Post a story for her about spoilt dogs and was thinking of the one below. http://workthedream.wordpress.com/2012/03/28/wonder-dog-is-in-bad-shape/

When I received this  e-mail Story I had Pod and Monty and so I used pictures that looked like them both. Pod my little girl was poisoned not long after I put this together, I  remember the pain of not only loosing her but how she died although now I also remember the special little things that made her unable to be forgotten and she is close in my heart.

Lets remember  danLrene and her family  in our prayers.

If I Didn’t Have Dogs  

My house would not look like a Day Care Center, toys everywhere…

 

All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair.

I could sit on the lounge and my bed the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how much space several furry bodies would need to get comfortable…

I would not be on a first-name basis with 5 Veterinarians, I reallyfeel like one of their family, I visit so often.

When the doorbell rang, it wouldn’t sound like a Kennel and I could get to the door without wading through fuzzy bodies who beat me there…

 I could walk around the yard barefoot and in safety.

I’d look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of       dreading ‘mud’season.

My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated…

The most used words in my vocabulary would not be… out, sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave him/her/it Alone!

I would have money… and no guilt trips about going on a real Vacation and coming back when I was in the mood…

My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers.

I could have a Shower without an Audience…

My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, water bottles treats and an extra leash.

 

 

Wash day would not include little furry bodies…

.

I would no longer have to spell the words…

B-A-L-L,

F-R-I-S-B-E- E, W-A-L-K, B-A-T-H, T-R-E-A-T, C-A-R, B-I-K-E, G-O, 

R-I-D-E,

 C-A-T.

I would not have as many leaves Inside my house as outside.

I would not look strangely at people who think having one dog/cat ties them down too much…

 I would not have to answer the question ‘Why do you have animals?’ from people who have never enjoyed the closeness of animals, or been blessed by their loyalty, trust and appreciation…

 I would be missing out on a lot of Happiness if I could not share my life with my four Legged Friends, I give thanks for them, they are a real blessing.

I’m Sending this to you because all dogs Love a Friendly and Kind person and I do too and that’s You!
