I was tagged by my friend Saffron

I've been tagged by my good friend Saffron, who was tagged by Prada who was taggd by Max, who was tagged by Oscar, who was tagged by Crystal, Who was tagged by Sunny, who was tagged by Shiloh in a neat sort of way! He is celebrating his 20th diary entry and has given tree rosettes to 10 of his pals. He is asking us to "pay it forward" and keep on giving. He is asking us to send rosettes to 10 of our pals (5 if you can't do 10) and to keep on giving!

I'm sending a heart to the following:

1) I loved my brother Po

2) Me and my mommy have a very close bond together.

3) I loved to chase squirrels

4) I loved to lay on a blanket outdoors all day long and enjoy the sun.

5) I was the Queen....and mommy said I will ALWAYS be her Queen.

6) I loved going to the park and standing in the water.

7) my mommy knows that I'm missing her right now. :-( and she is really missing me.

Now its your turn!!!

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 "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 man or woman."

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