I count myself among the "keepers of the animals" here on Earth and they in turn give so much back to me. The dog I still carry deep inside my heart is my Sophie who was with me for 11 years. It's never long enough. <br />I love that you shared all theses photos and told a little about your doggies. It's a fun read :-)<br /><br />xo<br />Denise at Autumn Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229028926029898680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-4780193164252069262013-08-11T12:40:31.147-04:002013-08-11T12:40:31.147-04:00Social psychology is one of my hobbies, and how pe...Social psychology is one of my hobbies, and how people are about their dogs is one great tell. If someone needs to correct others' compliments on the hair of their dog, maybe they need some hair of the dog ;-)<br />My brother wouldn't let me take his dogs for a walk, because he worried about their paws. When I finally convinced him that they would live longer with some exercise, I took them out. When I got back, one had a lightly bleeding paw, because it was weak from non-use. That was his proof that they should not go on walks.<br /> Now he has a spoiled son.<br />I love your blog :-)<br />JesseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-38950901558135540072013-08-10T13:37:21.173-04:002013-08-10T13:37:21.173-04:00and sending back more love indeed! xoxoand sending back more love indeed! xoxoGreen Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427381976705069464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-30823306748560151302013-08-10T13:36:48.691-04:002013-08-10T13:36:48.691-04:00"I belonged to her" that is soooooo swee..."I belonged to her" that is soooooo sweet.

She rules the neighborhood. Even people who claim not to be cat people are in love with Phoebe - accept for the women who lives in the end unit. Phoebe once snuck into her house and stayed there for over 24 hours.

For the most part, dogs are happy to be owned, to belong to a pack, to be loved. I have to say, I've had an epiphany here recently...I belonged to our Rottwieler, Roxie. Not that she was a bossy dog or spoiled. (Well, she was a little bossy and spoiled)She's gone now but it took a long time for me to realize why I was so depressed at her passing. It was because I was lost without her...hope that make sense. I've had dogs all my life and watched them come and go(and I remember each and every one)but Roxie, well...yup...I belonged to her. Still miss her terribly but wouldn't trade my time with her for anything :) Love Ya & Hope you're doing well!

We are down to...We love our pooches, don't we?<br /><br />We are down to one dog. A dachshund named Spot. We have told the kids, due to circumstances and Dad retiring in less than 6 years, she will be our last pet ever.<br /><br />After they were finished with their hysterical laughter [always uplifting when it is directed at you by your own children] they wiped their tears and said, in unison "Yeah. RIGHT!"<br /><br />I do have to say if that is an actual picture of what that man paid high dollar for in a Golden Retriever? He was R-O-B-B-E-D. Unless of course he puts his *Golden Retreiver's* tail on hot rollers every night. Cute dog, but. . .um, no.<br /><br />Your dogs are adorable. And I have to agree Shannon with your final words. <br /><br />Spottie does some goofy shiz, but she is my constant companion through all of this, especially when I have to spend hours a day alone, waiting on our family to come back from school and work. She's smart, stubborn, silly and loves us unconditionally. All for a scratch on the belly and a bit of kibble.<br /><br />Kind of like her Momma. ::grin::<br /><br />Nice post.

Yes, Vern is our baby, our child, our reason for being...almost! <br /><br />Here is one of my favorite blog posts: <br />http://www.julieluek.blogspot.com/2013/05/confessions-of-dog-sniffer.html<br /><br />Please read it.

The only time I reckon I was a huffy owner of my golden retriever was when she was becoming older and people would say, "not long now." I guess dogs become so much of our lives, they kinda become part of our identity. Your dogs are just adorable. Hmmm.... kinda makes me want to go and find a pup to love. ~CatherineFacing Cancer Togetherhttp://www.facingcancer.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-78861783345583777462013-08-09T14:43:48.886-04:002013-08-09T14:43:48.886-04:00good job....you hit on a subject that I can relate...good job....you hit on a subject that I can relate to. I am a dog owner and have been all my life. Even in the beginning the family dog was mine. nobody else, not my brothers not my sisters,mine. I can remember my black Lab Jake who I saved at the pound and stayed with me over 15 years. Important years and this was my best friend through all of it. So crushed when he died that I took a 6 month break from having a dog. At the end of that 6mo I got another dog I suddenly realized the depression I had fallen into. I know I will never be without a dog at my side to the grave.
