I'm not just a dog...I'm a Princess

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
Phrases 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 make me a
better person.

Because of "ju st 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 man or woman."

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog"
Just smile...
Because they "just don't understand."

Dogs in ou lives.

The Purpose of Dogs in Our Lives,

.....from
the eyes of a 4-year-old:

As a veterinarian I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and
they were hoping for a miracle.

I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.

As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for four-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt Shane might learn something from the experience.

The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last
time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Wi thin a few
minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept
Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion.

We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud
about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why."

Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.

He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?"

The four-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn stuff like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Here is a poem writen to me by my Knight Bear....please read- on

This is the day we became an oficial couple....I am so proud of him....


Subject: Ode to Flu Flu

Never did I think life could be so sweet.
In a blink of my little puppy eye
(And to my sweetest surprise)
I was delivered the most beautiful treat.

Princess Flu Flu, I bow down to you.
And before all, I ask of you
To be my doggy girlfriend
For ever and ever more, "Will you?"

Please say you will be mine.
And I will be your Knight
Cherishing you, loving you
Till the end of time.
.....................................
And here is my rely to Knight with a big "YES" to his question.....

There's no place in the world i would rather be
Than by your side
Huggie and kissy happily

To answer your question makes me proud
I say Yes
And kiss your cheek now that i'm allowed

Here's a little pillow for your dear sweet knee
My love... you will be looked after
With everything you need

If you are thirsty
I will bring you the river
If you are cold
Please don't shiver
I will wrap you with my love
and use the coulds as blankets from above

Your a pup with a girlfreind now my love
My heart is what i send you
On the wings of a snow white dove.

Your official girlfriend who adores you and send you all her love and hugs and kisses and love some more.............................
Princess Flu Flu loves you...."MWAH"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
...................... ....................................
I wrote this one for my Knight....with all my heart...xxxx

Subject: His my Knight Bear........

To the end of the i would walk for him
My heat filled with love
Life without him ....so dim

He fills up the emptyness within my heart
Just like the ocean brings up the tide
So tender and sweet
He loves me
Oh life...I'm in for the ride

The road of life
I walk alone no more
My message in the bottle
Has washed up to the shore

A knight could only find it
My soul is now complete
Heaven smiled upon this pup
So that he and i would meet.
........................

These are just some of our poems written bu us and especiall for each other ...they are not copies of anyone elses creativity and for this reason are special in my heart.
I will try to keep you updated with any new entries form my Knight Bear so that you too can feel some of the happiness i feel right now.

Sorry boy pup but this girl is taken..."I have a boyfriend"

I wrote in one of my earlier entries that i was single but no longer am i.....i have fallen in love and found happiness in the arms of a Knight....in shining armour (He is my Knight Bear and my love).
He rode his horse from a far away land ...swam the ocean and concoured the mountains to get to me....for this i love him even more...he romanced me with beautiful poetry and went on his bended little knee to ask me to be his girl pup.....I could not resist those crystal eyes and button nose...you see he is a shih-tzu like me and the most georgous little pup ever. Cupid really knew what he was doing !!! So thank you cupid".

In my next entry i will include a copy of my Knights poem that he wrote to me so if you like love stories...one has blossomed right here with a princess and a Knight....a love so pure and innocent that its like a dream.
