Dogs slow our heart rate and lower our blood pressure. I have been dogless for several years - by choice -- when I put my precious huge lap dog (he thought he was a 120 lb lap dog) -- I was quite inconsolable. My kids were grown and gone - the house was empty - and I kept imagining I heard his toenails clip clip clipping down the hall at bedtime. Even now I tear up when I think of him. What a baby I am. I stoop and love everyone elses dogs now. Snuggles for Lucky!!! May I borrow her to chase away our stray cat?

I'm so glad there's a place where she can be the dog she wants to be. I met my first rat terrier on the Fourth, she had a whole repertroire of tricks.

Poignant and easy to relate to. It's so trues, our lovies give so much without expectation, but then repay our small gestures with wagging tails and joy-filled eyes. Lucky is lucky to be loved by you...and I think our husbands might have the same mindset when it comes to pets... Sweet, sweet read :). Maybe I should check out Fussy and her happiness thing.
