I've had a lot of dogs (we're on our 6th and 7th now). Our first pair were Lab littermates who had been part of a biomedical research project. One of them lived to be 16 years old and taught me all about forgiveness and trust (a dog's supply is limitless, as far as I can tell). His brother was killed by a drunken man (a convicted felon) with a gun when he was 2 years old. The man then held me at gunpoint until the cops finally showed up. That was my lesson in grief and anger over our lack of control in life, no matter how hard we try to keep our dogs and ourselves safe. Our 3rd dog, another Lab, taught me about trust. We were a SAR team in her younger days (trust must be a 2-way street for a team), and then she lost the use of her hind legs for the last year of her life. She lived very happily in a wheelchair and completely trusted me to defend and help her as needed. I'll spare you the rest of the list... except for K - who taught me that love is endless.<br /><br />Thanks for a thought-provoking post!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357572045023259154.post-42589766274431970912013-02-01T06:28:29.512-05:002013-02-01T06:28:29.512-05:00You are welcome.

I hope that your private parts are soon feeling tip/top! BUT, you certainly did pull some mischief on your people the other day!!! I did enjoy the Thankful Thursday entry. I have learned alot from my pets too. Some are serious, but some are important but not too serious. From my cat Princess, I have learned that a girl can never be too well groomed!
