I love dogs and have only 4 in my life.
1st one was a Springe Spaniel and my parents gave it away as I discovered one day when I came home from school. We where moving and couldn't take him with us..... was pissed at the parents for quite some time
2nd dog was a dingo/red heeler cross. Great dog, used to love running....ran everywhere....even used to keep up with my hubby on his trail bike, ended up having to have him put down because he (the dog not the hubby) went ferrel and started killing kangaroos and attacking cattle....ranger paid us a visit and showed us a bullet and said that if we didn't cage the dog this is what would happen.....we couldn't cage him.....he was a free spirit, so we did what we thought was best, we had him put to sleep.....broke my husbands heart....he ended up burying him high on a hill where he could over look his domain.
3rd dog was a german sheppard cross..... his name was Walter (don't laugh) it suited him.....lol. He was the best dog. He let our then very young kids sit on him, ride him, pull his tail and never ever not once did he show any anger towards my kids or any other child. He was my pride and joy. Then at the age of 14 I made the saddest dicision I have ever had to make. He had been getting sick and aging quickly over the last few months of his life. He became incontinent, but I for a month decided I would clean up after him rather than having him put to sleep....but one sunday I came home and found him laying in his business not being able to move.....and he looked up at me with those very sad eyes and said it's time......I also knew that it was time....I spent the next 12 hours cuddling and loving my dog and giving him all the treats he usually wasn't allowed. Monday morning I took my beloved dog of 14 years to the vet and had him put to sleep while I held him tight. To this day there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him... I never thought I'd have another dog after him....but 6 months later
dog #4 was a dog advertised in the paper as free to good home.
When we arrived we realised this dog had been abused. No hestitation....the kids loved her immediately and she loved the kids. We took her home and for a few months she was very weiry of all loud noises and fast movements. She is now a very devoted dog to our family and is a great protector. I know the day will come when I will be heart broken again with her death....but I'm not thinking about that now....still have at least 8-10 before that.
I would never ever be without a dog.....they are great company and give so much love without asking for anything in return.
I must apologise for my rave on.
