Over the years I have always tried to understand why when one of my dogs passes away since we outlive them 5 fold or better, why I get another. For a while I could easily just say its how nature designed dogs, and be somewhat content with that. But as my years go on, I also realize that with another and another, when will they outlive me and what does that do to them?
I realized it will not matter. I have done my best and been the best with them and in return they have done everything for me as well as a dog can.
Still, even though I know they will be well taken care of if im gone before them, It kills me im not there for them anymore.
read a line somewhere online with the statement...
God held up a handful of ash and blew into it saying "let this be a perfect creature", and out of his hand, ran the dog.
A bit of feel good wordsmithing, but it still strikes a chord...
We know God loves us..he gave us dogs. M.T.
