Location: Winging It in KY | I too am sorry for your loss but just know that God brings people and animals into your life for a reason. Only you will know that reason.
I felt exactly as kmcsunshine about that breed of dog until I acquired a Chihuahua many years ago, too. I then changed my mind. I walked out of my house and there on the porch it sat looking at me with those buggy little eyes and shaking. I never intended to keep it either but it melted my heart and became Uggy Bug (that's short for ugly dog with buggy eyes). He soon had a sweater and a heated dog bed and was the best dog. He was very protective of me, no one was allowed to touch me except my husband, otherwise he would be on them like stink on poop! He was my first and only lap dog. He always showed appreciation for being taken in and loved. I'm sure that Hootie will appreciate everything that you will do for him in the years to come.
My Uggy has passed over the Rainbow Bridge as Fred has done. If you have never read the Rainbow Bridge poem, I have put a link here for you.

I will continue to send prayers for your pain.... But my goodness, look at sweet Hooties face! He does have little Freds eyes. I can't wait to start seeing pictures of Hootie. And hearing sweet stories of what funny or new thing he did. He will be forever grateful, I'm sure.... I also can't wait to "hear" happiness in your posts again. |

Location: Kentucky | My Dad lost his 16 year old Cocker Spaniel this past October. She was his number one in life. In January, he bought and picked up an 8 week old Cocker Spaniel puppy. I swear it's Sadie reincarnated. It's strange how things work out sometimes. That puppy does a lot of the same stuff and acts just like Sadie. It's kinda eerie. I'm betting Hootie Pants will be the same way :) |
