Condolences to those who have lost there best friends.
Last night I missed Leah. She would often lay beside me when I was on the couch at night. Sometimes she would just come over to me and just sit in front of me- I knew what she wanted. "Love Me" - so I would scratch her chest and tell her what a beautiful dog she was. Well, she was not there last night. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but I miss her. Can't believe she will not be there to meet me at the door when I come home, like she has for the last seven or eight years.
On the up side, my wife got up early with the dogs. She told me Sasha, the new dog, was really, really missing me, and cried and sat by the bedroom door until I got up. Who can ask for more in a dog.
