One of my favorite songs, Elston.

Cynn, my husband and I adopted two sister maltese dogs, we are the sixth owners . They both went into mourning along with me after the loss of my husband. One dog adopted me and other dog adopted my husband. Sherry who is my husband's dog, just recently decided she has to watch me and take care of me. It is quite comical. She follows me everywhere. We have a screened in patio. I will be outside in backyard and I look up at the patio and there she is sitting in a chair just watching me. I laugh. I sometimes think my husband told her to watch after me. And she does. Her concern for me really makes me feel special. Pets are so special and their love for us is unconditional. I love to hear all about the love you and your husband have for your animals and the love your receive back from them.

Sending you lots of hugs.
Smilin

It's true Smilin"! Really, do we know what our animals are thinking? Or if they are doing what they were instructed to do by say --your late husband? No, we sure do not know and for me I would love to think they are just what I think they are---our protectorates, our best friends..our true loves!
I know for a fact my animals love me and I could not love anything more the I love them!

Good morning all!
Looks like another lovely weather day here and we will be out doing our usual Saturday yard sales and there are many!
DH's mask was leaking last night--I could hear it so we tried the new one again and it leaked worse. Guess I'll have to have the medical company send us another new one. I suppose they can sometimes be flawed. I'm glad I saved s few of his used masks so we had something to fall back on. He had another bad day yesterday...just did not feel good. He looks so tired. I think he needs to go and see his Dr just to check him out...now to get him to go.
Have a great Saturday everyone.
Oh and elston--that is one song I always find myself singing!

Hi, gang.

LOve the dog story, smilin. Thanks.

I like the saying "Dance like no one's watching" - thanks, Elston.

I hope your Yard sale day is productive and fun, Cyn.

Have a good one.

So I had to say my "good-bys" to my Facebook friends and family for now---to many sad pet stories that I begged people not to post--I can't stop it and it is just one more things to make me feel bad about myself and feeling inadequate--just don't need that right now. So for now FB is not on my list of places to visit. I may stop by only to visit my daughter--my son stopped using FB over a year ago! So now I come here to CD and my email and my work on line.

I totally understand cyn. I have to run when the SPCA commercial starts on the TV and I throw their mailings in the trash unopened as soon as I can.....I cant take the way they use suffering to raise money. I used to send a check for their fund raising....but I decided they exploit suffering and misery....and it upsets me for hours afterwards.

My dear elston, at least we are not alone in our thinking. If I could fix all the problems with the poor critters God knows I would--but I cannot....sigh.....
