Let's see 'em - 4 legged best friends

[~Rascal~]

For all of us that have lost a "best friend"....


"The Rainbow Bridge"

When an animal dies that 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....

A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS.........

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.

MY FRIEND

The one absolutely unselfish friend that you can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is your dog.

Your dog is the essence of pure devotion, a companion of love that brings one closer to God, a friend that is truer to you than you are to yourself.

One of the sweetest gifts that life can bring is the love of a pet, our burdens seem less heavy, and the world seems brighter with them at our side.

Your dog will stand beside you in prosperity and poverty, in health and sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground if only to be near your side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, and will lick the wounds that we encounter in this rough world.

Life has no blessing like the love of a pet. One of the most difficult things a person must do is to say "goodbye" to a good friend, especially when that friend has loved so faithfully and unconditionally.

Be thankful for the memories, good and sweet,
Remember all the times they made your heart leap,
Keep their memories steadfast in your heart,
Never from the soul depart...

Piper guarding the universal remote for me.


Don't know how, but she's sound asleep.


She doesn't spend all her time on the couch. She usually follows me around.

This is Ranger, an eight year old beagle. The wife and I just adopted him from the humane society a month ago.

Beagles are great dogs although they can be very vocal sometimes.

That's what I have heard.

So far ranger has been great. I don't know much about his past, but I haven't heard him bark or howl once.

In fact the only noise he's made was a growl when my brothers German Shepard/Rottweiler mix got too close to my truck. Hopefully he stays this quiet!

Sasha is a central asian Shepard dog. We had her to the vet two Mondays ago. She weighed in at 37.7 pounds. She was about nine and a half weeks old then.

In the picture she is sitting next to a 120lb Saint.

Yes I have small Saints.
