Your story brought tears to me eyes, Marsha, as it reminded me of all our furry babies who have gone over the Rainbow Bridge. If dogs and cats have one fault, it's that they don't live long enough, but while they are here, their love is totally unconditional. I don't understand people who have a dog and leave him/her out in the backyard day and night. Our dogs (and cats when we had them) are part of the family and we still grieve for those who are no longer with us. They cheer us up when we need it, and always make us laugh with their antics. :-)
