You never own a dog.

A dog is on loan from God and eventually He always wants it back.

She owns me though.
Gonna break my heart in a million pieces in a couple more years.
He is good all the time. Praise the Lord!
Lucky for some of us God grants us many gifts...

I definately count my dog as a blessing and a gift in my life.
He definately owns me. [:0][B)][:D]
Aside from having to go in his crate, while I am at work, (which he does so willingly.) he leads the life of Riley. Has it made. I should be so lucky.
Doc, are you saying you lost your friend???
If so, my condolences,,,,,,,
I was wondering the same. If so, (as Forge stated,) my condolences. If you love your dog, they become like kids to you.
Too old to live...too young to die...
we have five , last one we lost , ,,well it was almost two years ago and we miss her dearly ,
seems the older we have become the more emotional attached we have become to our buddies they truly become family members
they take a piece of my heart with them.
And every new dog who comes into my life
gifts me with a piece of their heart.
Maybe if I live long and well enough
all the components of my heart will be Dog,
and then maybe I will be able to offer love
As pure and completely as they do.

RAINBOW BRIDGE
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies who has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

It's been just over a year since I lost my big Airedale Jiggs.
Mule
Second one in seven months. I am devastated. She would have been 18 in February but I still wasn't ready.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Big prayers for your friend.
my old girl doesn't have much time left either , its all she can do to get her rear legs under her any more, once she's up and going she does pretty good , we've had labs for the last 30 years and she's the last,

I have loved and lost quite a few of my four legged friends and it sure doesn't get any easier as time goes by!
Doc, I sure hope you find that special spot in your heart filled soon with another special buddy!
