Old dog, hideous breath, portly middle, you only grumble a little when I squeeze your soft soft self, you pee on the floor sometimes now and are deaf and more than a little blind, but still you're worth a price above rubies.
And they know they can get away with anything now especially standing infront of you and peeing on the floor. A friend is still a friend even after all these years.
This is a lovely post, Leah. Isn't great how dogs give back love unconditionally? I am 'between dogs' ... for far too long. We don't have a secure yard. Thanks for sharing Pippin.
It doesn't matter what they do, does it? That is a precious photo and I know why you posted. Pippin is a lucky dog to have your love.
I just went to rest my hand on my chin and it hurt. Ouch! I avoided killing the kitty carriers tonight by missing them and falling on a hardwood floor. Idiot!!!
I just read through your wonderful blog. Where you live is sooo different then where I live. Yours sounds so intriguing.Please come visit me, Click on Utah Grammie, she is always (well, no always) full of fun to make you smile and laugh, I check in with her every night before I go to bed. Enjoy. laurie
...the unconditional love, affection & friendship a dog gives is a wonderful gift. In our family his name is 'Rocky'. In addition to his regular job of making us smile; Roc is a service dog that visits childrens hospitals and elderly hospices in the area. Kids read to him and the elderly enjoy his 'Hello' visits. There is no price for the comfort 'they give'.
Aren't dogs the bestest pet ever?
ReplyDeleteThanks Pippin!
Who's a good boy?

Pippin is great, and what a lovely tribute to your furry friend. Good boy Pippin, and your owner is pretty cool too.

Funny how much our pets come to mean to us - just like our kids. What a fabulous post and a fabulous picture.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pippin!
