this picture touched me.

Breaks my heart...

Rick, you're telling on yourself. Any man that takes care of Toby like you do and has an obvious love for furkids can't be bad. I'm betting you're a teddy bear who just likes to act like a wild eyed liberal.

Great picture, thanks for the post. We're getting closer to losing Tucker, more problems every week, and it's breaking our heart. This picture says it all about the love and loyalty of a furry friend.

Tuck

Rick, I've been on this forum since day one, and have tried to avoid openning ANY of your postings. I had to look at this one, (I love my basset Opus 1X) and I'm glad I did. A good freind lost his sharpei last week, and this really touches close to home.

Thanks,

Ron

I own a dog grooming salon in a retirement community so I can relate to this quite well. I have placed dogs to new homes when there parents pass on.

Thanks Rick

Great and touching, being a dog owner, lover and person who thinks that God made it all wrong when he gave dogs a short life......I have had to bury four of them in the last 10 years, or at least have them cremated.....it really hurts.

Great post Rick

Charlie,

I could not agree more. I have always said dogs live way too short of a life span. I have a 17 year old poodle that it will be soon for her. I also have 2 miniature Aussies that are only 1 and 2 so many more years with them.

There is nothing on this planet that even compares to a good ole' dog.

i dog should never have to out live its master.
