My heart aches.
Beautiful picture of a fine looking dog.
I title this pic:
“And on the seventh day, doG rested”
Last week I read Robert Crais’ latest airport edition, “Suspect” and was impressed; mainly because of his treatment of the heroine, a German Shephedess called Maggie, a real DoGess.
Crais gets into canine thoughts, emotions & goals mainly wrt Pack lLader.
At one point, I wondered what canine songs Maggie might sing, particularly when pack leader is bereft.
This line:
“When you’re lost and you’re alone
.. .. … .. I will bring you home.”
My 1st dog bereavement was at age 8.
I had named him “Silver”, 5 years earlier.
Go with doG.
Pack Leader
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever, I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun.
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
They say all dogs go to heaven. So you’ll never see him again.
Just sayin.
If that is so you have a confirmed reservation in heaven.
Just sayin!
Touche sir, touche :-]
Words Fail! What a regal animal.
My best friends have always been my dogs. It’s always bothered me that I outlive them. It does not seem right.
It is not right and it is not wrong. It is the way it is.
Lo siento- heart breaking.
He was a beautiful animal. I am so very sorry for your loss.
Just got my dog’s blood work back. Triglycerides were 34 and Cholestrol was 195. So much for red meat and saturated fat causing heart disease. I feed him only raw nose to tail goat, lamb or cow and ocassional salmon. I always add a scoop of fat on top. Every day for 6 yrs.
However he had high “Lipase” level of 841. Does anyone know what that means? Should I be concerned or supplement something? (sorry vets are useless. I have no one else I can ask).
Thyroid levels were fine.
