I had a dog once....when I was younger. He and I were best freinds for a long time. He was hit by a car when I was 14 years old. I never got over it, never had a dog since.

Oh James! That's very rough indeed... but it's my personal opinion that you should certainly try again. The losses are more painful than words can say, but the joy and the love and the fun and adventures make the inevitable worth it. The smiles they give you everyday are such a gift. (Oh, and occasionally there are other gifts they give you too, but we'll skip that part for now... LOL!!!!!)

Thankyou Lori. I still think about him (his name was Bilko), 33 years later. But if I ever had another one I would be comparing it to him all the time, and that wouldn't be fair. I've never seen such unquestioning loyalty, not even in my wives! He was a one-off! Bless him.

James you can't expect a wife to live up to a dog - or vice versa
it's like apples and oranges
and you'd never compare dogs as you would wives
each and every dog is perfect - except for the shed
it doesn't come off in one piece and gets all over your stuff

Lori
that horse was truly special
I am sad with you

I dunno Rhea... I compare the dogs to the hubby all the time. LOL And he usually comes up lacking... And what's more, he knows it...

Just kidding. I love my hubby, he puts up with a LOT of crap from me!!!!!!!

[drache]

my soon to be hubby was born in the year of the dog, so I get the two-in-one deal - except it's not necessarily the best of both (case in point - shedding)

[Lori P]

Er... your hubby to be sheds??

[drache]

yup
he sheds as bad as any dog
but unlike a dog, he does clean up after himself
