My Tail of Devotion for Chewie

My Dearest Chewie,

I am so grateful that you are a part of my life. You bring sunshine to everyday, even the darkest and the hardest to get through. You are so adorable, and just looking at you makes me laugh and smile.

I have always found the bond between humans and canine's amazing. It's incredible how way back when, canines were wild animals, and that somehow through a twist of fate, the lives of humans and canines became intertwined in a bond that would never be broken. So everytime I see you scamper and run around my house, I find myself incredibly lucky to have such a beautiful creature as part of my world. I don't have to go to the zoo to admire animals, because I have one right in my own home!

I love watching you and my son play. Your bond with me is one of love and devotion for his master, but your bond with him is that of brother. He truly loves you and you him. I'm glad that we have you in our lives to grow together.

I don't know what I would do without you, Chewie. I try not to think about it, but I do often wonder what I will do when that day comes that you are no longer in my life. It is going to be extremely difficult because no other dog will compare. You are loyal, sweet, friendly...everything anyone would want in a doggie.

And I love you!

This is a special Tail of Devotion

Things have been super busy for my entire family. I just recently got my spring groom, with a nice, shorter haircut. And then I've really been enjoying playing with my little brother. He's growing up so fast, and now that he walks, it's fun to chase him around the house. He has such a great little personality. I also have a new friend named Topper who I met through my mommy's friend. I hope that he joins me here soon on Dogster. Next up, we get ready to move to a new house. Oh boy!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

The Purpose of a Dog's Life

A four year old child's wisdom. Why dogs do not live as long as people?

Being 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 there were no miracles left 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 the four-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though 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.
Within 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.

Lonely? Try Dogs, Not People

I hope so because I sure did! Santa bought me a 3-pack of Booda bones, red, white, and green. I'm so tiny that even though the bones are small, I'm still working on the first one. It's really keeping me busy!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Welcome Steve!

I forgot to welcome my new friend Steve when he first joined Dogster. I haven't exactly met Steve yet, but he belongs to one of mommy's best friends and her boyfriend. I hear that he's older, really sweet, and super laid back. Hey, sounds just like me. I'm sure that we'll get along great !!

So welcome Steve! Sorry I'm late!!
