humanity
Isn't it ironic that the very best of humanity is seen through the love and empathy we show to our pets?
A Man's Best Friend
Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, they tend to be our beacons when life is unbearable or heavy. Life is a struggle and dogs seem to truly understand that. Throughout my entire life, not one dog has proven that statement wrong; even the ones that bite or think your new leather furniture are gigantic chew toys. I am a groomer so I have seen all different breeds and temperaments but- What dog will always have my heart is my red Labrador Retriever. She rants like a husky, she slinks about your legs like a cat, and somehow thinks she’s a lap dog so she may literally smother you with love and kisses.

Best Reunion Of My Life
I had a hard time picking one minute with one pet. I am an animal lover and I have almost always had a pet. At 50 that adds up to a lot of really great moments. After thinking about it for a couple days I think I have picked one as maybe the most meaningful moment with any of my pets.

Papa's Pets.
My grandfather, (Papa as we've always called him, unless that is, you needed his attention, then a stern Richard would bring his head out of his bag of circus peanuts or away from the dog he was petting) built his life with calloused hands. Everything he did showed the blood and sweat he poured into it.

An Unremarkable Dog
My dog is almost entirely average, in everything except maybe his ability to drool everywhere he goes. He's never saved a drowning kid or sniffed out drugs and sent criminals to jail. It took him a long time to be house-trained, and even longer to learn how to walk with a leash. I could never take him to school, he'd get too excited and scare the kids. He chases butterfly shadows and has never caught one. He always hides our shoes.

I will always love you, Reese Peanut Butter Butt Weinerkins. Top Story - September 2022.
MY RESSEKINS. You were the best. So soft and cuddly, so warm and snuggly. You always knew what was up, and were never afraid of jumping down, no matter what height you were at. Crazy dogger.

My White Spirit Dog
Thirty Years Ago: My mother had passed away two weeks earlier, and I slept on the couch most of the time, day and night. One morning, I was napping on the sofa and woke up, but I could not move or talk. I could only observe and watch my grandmother, mother, sister, and myself doing laundry in the kitchen sink. In my vision, it was a beautiful spring day. I could see outside and noticed a small black dog looking up at the three people she was with and then back over at me. It was cold and icy outside, but she appeared to glow with a beautiful white light surrounding and filling her.

Companion Calamities
It's been fifteen years since my dog passed away from old age, but I still have the memories. In 1993, my Aunt's Border Collie, Aurora, was pregnant, and she offered us first pick of the litter, once they were weaned. We also got to stay up late one weekend while they were born, but our parents hauled us home at around midnight.
