Is Your Dog Part of the Family?

Husky Puppy Postcards postcardMan's best friend is also one of the cutest and cuddliest! I love dogs! All sizes, shapes and colors can be adorable when they look at you with those eyes that say “I’ll love you forever and I’ll be loyal to you.” It is so hard to resist the beautiful faces and sweet kisses they want to give.

Strays always seem to find me. They approach as if they have known me all their lives. Even wild animals are not afraid of me, as the current reigning queen of my house has shown. She is a wolf mix that found me in the North Georgia Mountains. Shadow will be 8 years old in September.

My son and father call this the “Snow White” syndrome, where birds fly down and sit on your shoulder. Go ahead and laugh, at least it is the worst they have done to me.

When I speak of my animals I don’t like using the words “pets”, they are my family. They provide love and comfort, loyalty and a listening ear when no one else has the time or inclination.

Like lensmaster lakern26, I have a problem saying no to bringing another one into the house. Nevertheless, sometimes I have to.

In the lens A Dog Lover’s Tale, this lensmaster introduces her babies, the pups as she calls them. Each pup has a different “dogonality” and way of doing things. I have a favorite, and I am sure you will too!

She explains why people should look to the animal shelters if they need a companion. In choosing a dog to love and to have love you back are you also ready to put up with their bad habits and antics? Can you afford to feed another family member? There is food for thought in this lens.
