What Dogs Have Taught Me

Sham, Laddie, Rough, Breeze, Lexie, Ellie

I have been honored to share my life with many dogs.  Each time I loose one, I am heart sick, but grateful for the special lesson that unique soul helped me to learn.

 

Here are some of the lessons my cherished pups have helped me learn:


Trying hard is as important as achieving the goal
 Macho

Hanging out together is just as fun as earning pretty trophies
Stella 
Forgiveness is the greatest gift a friend can offer
Shamaron
Run as fast as you can whenever you can just to feel the wind in your hair 
Laddie
Knowing true loyalty is both an honor and a wholly humbling experience
Rough (his poem)
Life is way too short.... it really is.
Danny
Perfection is not as important as the heart with which one performs the job 
Jaye
Taking time to get to know someone in their later years is worth the effort
Beebe
There is no better reason to be joyous than the mere fact that you exist
Ellie (her poem)
Those qualities that one  judges as weakness may, in fact, be a person's greatest strength
 Breeze (his poem)
There is always hope for a wayward, naughty pup to become a cherished and loved and good great dog.
Teddy  
When a most loyal dog shares your life, always remember to look before pushing out your chair lest you run over his tail (again).
Kael (his poem)  
Getting a late start in things has nothing to do with the quality of the outcome.
Lexie (her poem)  
Sometimes, it takes a long time to accept imperfection in ones self... especially that which causes such a disastrous outcome........I humbly ask for your forgiveness, my dearest one....
   
   
   

 The dogs on this page have all made my life richer for their presence in my life.  I thank each one for the experiences we shared.  I still miss them, all.
