RE: Animals are people too. - 12/17/2007 1:05:20 PM    pupman   Posts: 236 Joined: 11/30/2005 Status: offline To all you nice animal people out there! It does my heart good to read the kind comments,the rescues and the beautiful pictures of your "furry people" both puppies and kitties!!! The animals engender  the good we would like to see in  everyone and make us feel so good inside. Five years ago my wife and I lost our youngest son to Sarcoma, a very bad form of Cancer.Michael was 24. I think the only thing  that kept  us sane was our beautiful animals, at that time Bear and Teddy. Teddy who was another Belgian Sheepdog like Dunkin(goatee) has since passed away.He's with Michael now and I really like to think they are running together in beautiful fields under a deep blue sky. Earlier this year Dunkin  almost lost his little life when he was crippled by the fact that both growth plates didn't close in his rear knees. He only pulled his body around the house. We were heartbroken! Well, not all is bad news and the man upstairs saw fit to let Dunkin walk again with the help of one of the top orthopedic vets here on Long Island. That was 7 months ago and $9000.00 + . I guess what I'm trying to say is that our animals bring us so much joy in a world thats all too often filled with sadness. We're far from rich but it never mattered how much it cost to save Dunkin ,just that he's part of our family and we did it. So at this time when we are all counting our blessings lets not forget our animals which I believe God put here to soften the world ,for even just a little while, a little.     So with this in mind our furry family wishes all your furry families peace and happiness and the true holiday spirit!     Kev (pup) < Message edited by pupman -- 12/17/2007 1:06:29 PM > (in reply to CWBookAuthor) Post #: 41

Hobbit, the canine garbage disposal and Rocky the lap cat. I don't know how Hobbit eats some of the things he does without getting sick (even things he's NOT supposed to eat!). Rocky likes to lay on my lap and watch football and bother me until I share my snack with him. He also eats just about anything. This pic is a little old, but it's fairly accurate. Hobbit is a little bigger (full grown) and Rocky's "kitty beer belly" may be a little bigger  ~Jim Attachment (1) _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to pupman) Post #: 42

If my dog Zoey needed a operation, I like lex would sell every bottle I owned if need be.Money is scrap compared to a loved pet. Here is a cool pic of a dog that has a heart of gold,and some mighty strong hind legs  seems like what goes around comes around eh Mike?

Status: offline Yeah Rick, my wife named him after Peetie from the Little Rascalls. He's got the spot on his eye so I guess she just couldn't resist? LOL. I've gave him a few nicknames over the years but the one that stuck was P Diddy. Does anyone else have nicknames for thier pets or am I just crazy? LOL Here he is hamming it up for the camera. I've got a ton of pictures of my animals, way more than I have of my bottles! We regreted not taking more back before we got a digital camera so now I go a bit overboard.

RE: Animals are people too. - 12/17/2007 9:30:49 PM    RedGinger   Posts: 992 Joined: 12/7/2007 Status: offline Rick, I'm not sure exactly how old she was because I adopted her.  She was around 7 in that picture.  When I adopted her, she had been found at the dump with her kittens.  They had all been adopted and it was just her.  I fell in love with her immediately.  She loved to talk and always cuddled.  Mirabelle was my whole heart.  It's nice to be able to talk about her with people who understand.  Anyway, she was sick and I couldn't let her suffer.  It was the right thing to do.  It's just so hard.  I know I'll see her again and that helps.  It's been a tough year which makes losing your pet (child) take longer to come to terms with.  I am a huge dog lover too!!  Laur (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 57
