I’m a plain ole animal lover, but dogs are the greatest! My Dakota is a golden retriever/chow mix, and as sweet as he could be. At 13, he’s slowing down, and I dread the day that I have to put him down which seems to be approaching soon. He’s getting arthritic, and I hate to think that one day I will have to end his misery.
Then there is my little Bitty, who is an 8 year old Border Terrier mix. She is a character, full of energy and with just a look she knows how to melt your heart.(Just like the cat that Antonio Banderas plays in Shrek!)
Little “Miss spoiled brat” that she is, she has to sleep with SO and I under the covers… She likes to curl up behind my knees. I’ve had a dog in my life since I was 5 years old, and I would be lost without one. To me, living without a dog would be like living without enough air to breathe… they are a neccessity!
