Years ago, I came home with two twin puppies for my two young daughters. Eventually we discovered that one had kidney failure. We nursed her for years and we had good days and bad. Eventually the bad days out numbered the good til one day my wife and I had to take her in to our vet. There wad not much we could do so they recommended we get our other dog and say our goodbyes. At the end our little Zoe left this earth on her own terms and we did not need to put her to sleep. She died in my wife's arms were it was meant to be. That was a bad but it had its blessings.

I don't get too worked up over buzzfeed links because they're no better or worse than any other web sites out there. By far the worst offenders are the search engines especially Google. They dump all kinds of cookies and malware on our PC's every day. I run anti-malware and anti-virus software that keep all of the crap at bay. Awards

I read this I think on a Labrador site, author unknown: " Every dog I have ever had the pleasure to own has GIVEN me a piece of there HEART. Every time they have PASSED away they have TAKEN a piece of my HEART! Eventually my HEART will be all DOG!" Now I will this tell this joke, but it is really a truth. If I put my Wife and my dog in the trunk of my car for just 1 hour and on my return let them out. WHO IS HAPPY TO SEE ME? Leadfinger 1 Awards
