It is painful when people think a dog is "just a pet" but they are the ones truly missing out on such a loving and spiritual connection. Nothing gets lost in language and words, the bond is purely feeling, the communication telepathic.NKPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963976997563464573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740230132498814658.post-50510495018247640822009-09-21T11:06:58.051-04:002009-09-21T11:06:58.051-04:00The animals in our lives are angels wrapped in fur...The animals in our lives are angels wrapped in fur.

I am so connected to my Trixie - I got her 9 months before my dalmatian buddy passed away. She truly helped me through that awful and heart-wrenching time.

Truly, I wish you could see Minky. I'll try to get a face on shot. She and Sophie have the same deep, knowing eyes and look like they could be litter mates. Same fur. I don't want to be without by companions who see me so transparently and love me anyway.
