| besides a loving family, how about this dear, "just a dog" “From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog”, or, “that’s a lot of money for just a dog”. They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for “just a dog”. Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog”. Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog”, but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a dog” and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of “just a dog” gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day. If you, too, think it’s “just a dog”, then you will probably understand phases like “just a friend”, “just a sunrise”, or “just a promise”. “Just a dog” brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. “Just a dog” brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of “just a dog” I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it’s NOT “just a dog” but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. “Just a dog” brings out what’s good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day. I hope that someday they can understand that it’s NOT “just a dog” but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being “just a human.” So the next time you hear the phrase “just a dog”, just smile, because they “just don’t understand!  |
| I'm grateful I have a home, even though it's old and needs repairs. The fact is, we love our farm and the tranquility it brings us, even though there is work involved. I'm grateful for my generally good health. I'm grateful I have a job, and it's one I enjoy. I'm also grateful Todd is working a seasonal job, to help boost our bank account and get us ready for winter, help pay for daughter's wedding, etc. I'm also glad our 3 kids are grown and are good young adults that a parent can be proud of....and thankful for our 3 wonderful grandkids!!! I'm also very thankful for our dogs, and all we get to do with them. I can't imagine life without them. |

| I am grateful for the Rainbow Bridge thread. Someone, I can't remember who, lost their sheepie and posted about longing to give one more kiss on the nose to their beloved. That really struck a cord in me and I never miss the opportunity to give Mady one more kiss on the nose and I think about that person and their sheepie every time I do it. And I am grateful for when David 'pocket phones' me by accident on his cellphone and I get to eavesdrop on how he talks to Mady when he is on his own. Utterly adorable, such a softie.  |
| kim, can ya put that on speaker phone next time david does that? |

| Beautiful thread Las Vegas Sheepie Lover! Love the flowers. Maybe it's just an emotional week for me, but I think the older I get, the more sensitive I'm becoming to that very question. I'm grateful for these guys. Everything else just doesn't matter.  I'd throw in a wonderful husband, but he's not in the pic, so...  |
