He'd had a pet related trauma as a child, and he didn't want that for us, but life, death, and all the loving is just part of being human.<br /><br />One year, I wrote him a letter and told him that I really wanted a dog, and because I knew already that I could not have children, I told him this was as close as I could get. I couldn't tell him all this face-to-face, because I knew I'd cry, and he'd get all upset, so the letter thing was best.<br /><br />And that was how I got my Shetland Sheepdog Amber. Of course, we had other 'Not really OURS' pets growing up... Fred the cat, Mike the great dane, Hooper, and many others. They just seemed to gravitate to our house, although they belonged to neighbors.<br /><br />I ask myself why we continue to have pets; is the pain of their loss worth it? Of course it is; they bring us love, laughter, companionship, sometimes even a reason to get out of bed each day.<br /><br />Take care, dear. I know how much you miss Jes, and how much it hurts not to have him with you, but time takes the edge off. You'll never NOT miss him, or hurt, but the hurt becomes lessened with time, and remembering all the joys of having him in your life.<br /><br />I love you, Lauri.Tequila Sepulvedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00737033014755738460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012388496331587337.post-88549556532481079832011-11-14T19:27:10.356-07:002011-11-14T19:27:10.356-07:00Tequila,

My mom always called Quito a SHE... well, he was so beautiful, he was easily mistaken for a girl dog.<br /><br />Cisco is searching the house for him. But mostly he just wants the left overs of Quito's dinner. :)Tequila Sepulvedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00737033014755738460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012388496331587337.post-73835923163334644032011-11-14T17:08:45.685-07:002011-11-14T17:08:45.685-07:00Sweetie, I am so sorry.

Your little pups look so cute. <br /><br />It is funny but we were just talking about dogs this afternoon. A friend of Chris has a dog that just had a stroke and they are trying to figure out what to do. It is so hard. I wish they could last as long as us so we did not have to miss them.<br /><br />We had one dog for 18 years, he just gave out in the end. Now we have Lucy, I brought her home from Friends for Life in Gilbert where I used to volunteer. Someone owned her for 5 years and just turned her in, they did not want her anymore, go figure. She is so perfect, well trained and just a big 85lb baby. Spoiled rotten and acts like a total diva.<br /><br />Anyway Tequila, once again I am so sorry for your loss. I know some people say "it is only a dog", but we know better don't we.<br />Take it easy and stay well<br />fay in the family roomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
